I'm shipping from Australia to the USA. Do I need to print an invoice
or something to go with the package? Bricklink took the sales tax but there's
no button to print a receipt like the VAT sales do. Currently I just have the
shipping label attached and I'm dreading it arriving and customs tries to
charge the buyer again.

There are no special documents to “prove” tax was paid for low value shipments
to the USA. Most of them enter the USA under De Minimis, however they recently
removed that exemption for all goods made in china so now you have to make sure
you declare the country of origin correctly (most of us say Denmark) otherwise
additional fees will be charged. They mentioned several times they were going
to remove de minimis entirely which might make it more complicated but as of
now they haven’t done anything about that.
When shipping from Canada to the USA as of a month or so ago it’s now required
to put a sticker on each individual main bag with the hs code and country of
origin otherwise the package may be rejected entry (tho statisticly if you don’t
include it it may be fine or may they have different rules when sending from
Australia?)
