Why do I need to enter my merchandise value?

Why do I need to enter my merchandise value?

Regulations under Customs and the US Census Bureau require you to accurately represent the price you paid for your products. We create your Proforma Invoice for Customs by entering the information provided on the merchant invoice/receipt that usually arrives with your package. The Proforma Invoice lists the value, quantity, and description of the items.
 
If your package does not include a merchant invoice, or if it does not show the value of the merchandise, we will need you to confirm the values before we can ship your package.
