In Australia -
1) if you insure an item, you can't declair it's value separately.
2) if you are sending to Germany, you can't insure it, period, because
apparently there is not Australia/Germany insurance agreement. This may be a
general German issue. Check with your post office.
3) (inbound) if it looks professsionally packaged or has an official receipt
of any sort, they'll try to get you.
4) try pulling a few knobs off to make it look damaged, and ship then in a
separate package, or stuffed into the padding.
