If it's a gift you should declare it as such because there are exemptions. If you're shipping from the US and you have time it's best to ship USPS. They have a flat $5 Brokerage fee. I would caution against shipping regular ground couriers because they charge hidden brokerage fees. It's cheaper to ship Express where the brokerage fees are included. The following is an example but FedEx is the same.

... many stories of people buying a $45 item in the USA and spending the same again for shipping.
You are the guy who is really in the know! Thanks
