Hello! We ship collectible coins to Canada once in awhile. Most of the coins are worth between $10 $100, but occassionally we ship $1000+ coins. The method we have used over the years varies, usually based on the request of the customers in Canada.
I am curious if there is a better way to ship to Canada, while still staying within the law. We have been listing the dollar amount of the package on the customs form as $15 or $20, but never the actual amount. We also list the contents as "collectible souvenir". Is this technique okay? I have been using Global Priority (USPS) with insurance provided by our 3rd party carrier (Discount Shipping Insurance).
Any suggestions or opinions? Thanks.

I think you are on the right path. "collectible souvenir" is non descript enough.
