Can I mail a gift to China?
I want to send a friend in China a modestly-valued (like $50) gift. It seems like the only cost-effective way of doing this is to mail it with the US Postal Service. But in reading the rules, it says that the Chinese won't allow their citizens to receive anything of value over 100 RMB. Is that actually enforced? And what are my odds of the recipient in China actually receiving a package I mail -- is theft a serious problem?
FWIW, I regularly receive small packages from friends in China and they all seem to make it here.
Thanks for the help.
