Ahhhhh....  That's the trade-off.  You can save money on VAT (GST 
in Canada), ransom....  uhhh.... brokerage fees, or whatever, but 
you run the risk of losing big-time if something happens.  
Unfortunately, you *can't* have it both ways...

Postal Clerk:  "What's the value?"
Zuikoholic:  "It's a gift and one it's worth sixty bucks."
Postal Clerk:  "Would you like insurance?"
Zuikoholic:  "Yes, please.  Insure it for $600."
Postal Clerk:  "Yeah, right!"
