I've heard in some former Soviet nations, that the government charges someone a tax fee or something for a package delivered to the person.
Is this the case for the Ukraine, and if so, how much is this, generally?

What are you sending ? It's usually good enough just to declare a much lower value than what the contents are worth. The customs people will be none the wiser.Quote:

So that's what I'd be doing.
I've just heard stories about people sometimes having to go down to some office and pay on the value of the item. Not really sure if a delivered service would be the same affair or not.

Thanks! :D Dyakuyu!
I was hoping that was the case. I want to send her a nice floral arrangement, but now I may be able to do alittle more.
Is this a Ukrainian bride?
Well, she's Ukrainian, and I plan to marry her. :D
But nah.
She's much better than a Ukrainian bride.
Did you meet her on the interweb?
Yes, we've been emailing for months, as friends first.
Why the curiosity? :D
Is it from such a site where pretty young East European women are looking for rich Western men?Quote:

Sorry if I seem rude.
Just wondering why how I met her matters at all.
If you're opposed to internet based relationships, why comment?
