hi, i just bought something from ebay, the seller says he can send the shipment using fedex ground. how can i get away from paying customs?

saying it is warrenty...stating zero dollars on the invoice.
Or a gift... also zero dollars on invoice.

Yes, but Customs is pretty hawkeyed over that kind of stuff, if they find out its not, you wont get it at all.

Pay the damn duty on it.

the best way is to mark it as a gift or promotional materials

How much would duty be?
Lets say... on something like a catback exhaust from Cali...?

Usually just GST when bringing in stuff from the states. If you get busted, they'll confiscate it and you will get nothing.

SEND IT USPS! Your going to get raped up the ass by brokerage fees if you don't.

Fedex won't rape you up the ass with duties. Just be glad you're not dealing with UPS.
