Any tips on labelling the packaging when you send them abroad to avoid being charged duty or taxes, either on the way out or on their return?

Declaring the items/cars as being returned definitely is well worth doing. EG: "Not For Sale, items will be returned to owner". As well as labelling the parcel, a note inside giving full details of the event is good, including contact information for someone at each end of the shipment. Attached is such a note that has been used several times. It is crucial that entrants declare a low value for their car when sending in. The event admin needs to warn that if a car arrives and the local customs people demand an import fee, the car will not be accepted by the event team. If potential entrants are not prepared to value their car at 10 pounds/dollars they should not enter.
