You are trying to avoid paying tax - just admit it. I don't blame you, but HMRC are not stupid and monitor things like this all the time. If they suspect you of deliberately being deceptive they could seize your goods or prosecute you. That's very unlikely but not impossible - they like to make examples of people who think they are smarter than the system.joshnator1 said:If you understand the Japanese culture of gift giving it would make sense.4 -
