	I once sent a couple of microphones to a gal

	I marked the box + Gift - 	because it was a gift.

	Both US and UK Customs had a conniption and
	I eventually had to file an Affidavit with purchase
	receipts indicating the price I paid was $9  (a close
	out at RadioCrack)  and copies of my email
	correspondence offering to and from her discussing
	the matter,  before they released it without a tariff.

	In contrast, I buy stuff on eBay which comes marked
	+Gift   all the time... and it NEVER gets held up in
	customs.

	Go figure.   I guess it does not have to make sense.
