If you sold it, it is NOT a "gift", which have certain allowances on duty.

If it is a product, it is NOT "documents" , which are not dutiable.

It is OTHER.

When you choose "other" you have to fill in the line that explains what the item actually is, and give the selling price. Do not add in the postage cost. Do not make the insurance value differ from the selling price.

On a Paypal shipping form, this will fill itself for the most part, but you only have 20 keystrokes for the description.

Gifts are what you send to your family and friends. If you're not shipping to family or friends (and you were paid for the item), then it is not a gift.
