Your purchase receipt is the commercial invoice. I self clear all the time when dealing with DHL.

Hey this is a late reply, but what do you do when it's not a commercial purchase? My mother insists on sending me packages from abroad through UPS and I get screwed with duty. Any ideas how to self clear this?

As far as I'm aware, only new items are charged import fees. She should have the purchase receipt. Used items are just processed like regular mail; could be wrong on that though.

Unfortunately no that's not true. Even if duty is not owed, GST is still charged (based on the declared value) as I found out yesterday. $3.50 in GST $38 in brokerage fees added on by UPS. Fuck these guys, it's predatory.
