Do you pay the declared amount if you ship?

No, the idea of the declared amount is that you pay taxes on it, not that you pay it in full. So if you declare at $20 (and it's accepted) and there's a 10% VAT, that means you only have to pay $2.

The declared amount is what's written on the merchant's invoice, which is what's used for the customs declaratio.
