I've only had that happen to me once...and I wouldn't suggest throwing them away since fedex sent me a notice that they were going to take me to small claims court if I didn't pay the one that they had sent me =P

I've had it with some stuff (not records fortunately) that have been sent from the US. However, if you get the store to put "gift" on whatever paperwork, and on the parcel itself then you shouldn't have to pay duty.
