I have sent holsters to Germany, South America (I don't remember the country, my apoligies), And France and always put "antique holster". When I worked with UPS Intenational Shipping, the catch was declared price rather than item (unless they think it is a gun part). That said, the amount before they hit the customs bar varies, but usually is around $25.00. If they think it should be worth more than the declared value, they are liable to open it, so I usually declare close to the value $75-$150.
