Hi
I recently started up my own business. I got my first sale!!
It's a nice feeling. Anyway, my question is:
Is it necessary for me to attach an invoice to the outside of the package for customs (entry into the country of my customer)?
Just recalling packages I have received in the past I seem to remember invoices enclosed in a transparent, sticky envelope to the outside of the parcel.
Or do customs need to see this invoice to determine the value of the product and hence the amount of tax the customer is liable for?
If it is necessary for me to attach an invoice to the outside, is it normal practice to make up an invoice with much reduced € total so the end customer is not required to pay import taxes?
Thanks
