"No Commercial Value" may be understood, but it it's accepted less and less
at face value, IME. It's better to put a value on there to prevent the
customs officials from coming up with one of their own to fill the blank in
their "form". YMMV, just my opinion.

I've certainly been charged duty/taxes on items that have been (mis) marked
"no value" or "gift".
