This includes Canada, the US, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Greece, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Botswana and many more. So in some cases I think sellers need to be educated about import laws and how to fill out customs forms properly more than buyers need to be banned from the site. In Suggestions, cosmicray writes:    In Suggestions, calibrick writes:    Respectfully recommend an auto-ban of any user that requests a seller lie on customs forms based on a specific criteria (e.g., 5 unique seller complaints for the same username). Note this in the buyer guide/help context (against the rules, fraud, account will be auto-banned). Worse, some buyers are punishing sellers by leaving negative feedback when they are merely being good, fair-minded citizens that are following federal regulations and complying with the LAW. My understanding is that this is not the first time this has been requested. Seems to me this could be a field appended to the existing database that is populated by admins based on seller complaints as a regulatory-minded service to the seller community. Perhaps the easier solution would be for the seller to post on their Terms page "I do not falsify total order values on customs forms (so don't ask)" or "I will falsify total order values on customs forms (no need to ask)" (emoticon added for context) Ray I disagree. Sellers only need concern themselves with their country's export laws, not the import laws of every country they ship to. The import laws are up to the customer to know and understand. And as others have noted, whilst there is no specific extra tax or duty on toys, there is still VAT and sometimes import duty (depends on order value) for importing into the EU. If a seller writes that there is no duty to be paid and then later there is, they are on dodgy ground with the buyer.
