Do I need a customs declaration for a gift?

What needs to be declared at customs?

I am planning to move the new website to a dedicated server for testing.

I was wondering if it is necessary to declare any items I want to use. Is there a list of items that need to be declared, or do I need to declare them all?
Thank you! You cannot legally avoid customs duty by declaring only your own stuff. In almost any countries you have to declare everything. (Except most European countries, since there the law was changed.) You don't get any discounts if you declare things, but you will have to pay higher than normal fees.

See the rules for each individual country in my links above.

Gifts to travelers may be declared as valuable gifts and exempt from customs charges.

The exemption is applicable to all goods and services including tickets, vouchers, money, entertainment and similar items. The exemption does not apply to money, tobacco or drugs.

The exemption also does not apply to currency or other foreign exchange items and is subject to the normal customs procedures for those items. Is the exemption limited to one time or annual exemptions? The exemption applies to any exemption of duty and the exemption is valid for one year from the date of arrival in New Zealand. However, this exemption can be claimed more than once for a period of 12 months.
