When shipping (by an international courier company) to the US items purchased abroad, is there any difference in the US customs duty, between sending the items in multiple small packages versus one large package?
First, I would like to know if there is a higher chance that a smaller package will not be checked at the US customs, hence no duty will be charged.
Second, assuming that all packages are checked at the US customs, is there any difference in the total duty charged in each case (multiple small packages vs one large package)?
It can be assumed that the seller of the items is legitimate, and he will truthfully specify on each package what its content is.
