I know all about those nasty 'duty' charges, being from a exotic foreign country and all. What I do, when I sent stuff to the US, I label it as a 'gift' on the little customs sticker they make you put on the package. Also helpful is to write 'Made In USA' (if its going to the US) so you dont get dinged. Perhaps similar rules apply - you could ask your US shippers to say 'GIFT, MADE IN UK' and that might help.
