Contact your local Customs department and ask them what, if any, 0uty would be
applicable.
The declared value from B&H would most likely be stated in shipping

like insurance value and the sale price on an invoice.
It could differ when buying from a list member in that the value on an included
receipt would be up to the two of you. Perhaps you might be really lucky and
someone will send you a "gift" ;-)
