USA, Canada / Sending a phone from USA to Poland [6]

Hi, I want to send my girlfriend a smartphone.

If anyone has done something similar before, I need advice. What's the best way to do this? UPS? Fedex?

Does the phone have to have a Euro CE marking? If it doesn't have it, will it be destroyed by customs?

Also, I'm curious about import taxes? Or will she have to pay any fees?

I'm not finding any clear answers online, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the answers. I really appreciate it. I already have a smartphone I'm not using, so it's more economical for me to send what I have.

If I pursue sending it via Fedex, I guess to buy some type of insurance for the risk of theft?

Should I declare it in the customs form that it's a phone? So, if it's stolen, I can get money back? Or should I send it with other items and hide it?

Thanks again for all the help.
