How to Set Declare Value on Kakobuy
When selecting shipping on Kakobuy, find the "Declare Value" field.
Set the declared value to $10-30 USD for most clothing items.
For shoes, declare as $15-25 USD per pair.
For jewelry, declare as $10-20 USD per piece.
Select item category as "clothing", "accessories", or "gifts".
Never declare at full retail value — this triggers higher duties.
