What shipping documents do I need if my international shipment is a gift?

In addition to the FedEx International Air Waybill, other customs forms may still be required for gift shipments to international destinations. Follow these tips when shipping gifts:

Gift Exemption for Duties and Taxes
Many countries and economies allow gifts to enter the country duty-free if the value of the gift is less than a certain amount. However, any amount above the stated value may be subject to import duties and taxes.

To qualify as a gift, your shipment should meet the following requirements:

• The shipping documentation must be clearly marked "GIFT" and include a detailed description of the commodity.
• In some countries, the shipment must be sent person to person — with no company involvement or indication of involvement on the shipping documentation.
