Hi,
I want to buy an HP in the UK and have it shipped to the US (value approx USD 400).
I have previously had a bad experience where a friend sent me a gift and I had to pay duty (not so bad) and a hefty processing fee (very bad).
Can I avoid duty/fees? According to the website below, the maximum limit for a gift is $100:

Is this enforced? What if it is marked as a purchase?
Can anyone relate their experiences buying HPs overseas?
Thank you
