He could have also sent it as a gift, this gets rid of alot of the fees you would have to pay, thats how it worked for me when i ordered my mh setup from a different country.

When I bought my phone from the US the guy that sent it put that it was only 30 dollars and that it was a gift. They never took the value off the package but they still charged me 20 dollars brokerage.

that's a common trick various companies use to ship their product overseas with no duty. I got headphones from japan that way once. You don't get any shipping insurance, but it saves you buttloads of money in most cases.

My girlfriend's parents were sending stuff overseas to their family on a regular basis, putting actual values down on the stuff they were buying used in pawnshops and thrift stores n stuff. They were getting dinged with loads of duty until I told them to just put the stuff at a value of like $20 or something, since used product without any receipts usually isn't covered by any insurance in the first place.
