We've had this same discussion a number of times before on the board, and I think there have been very clear instructions posted. The only source I would trust though would be the US Customs office, and I would want to have a very current pamphlet too. The point of the import rules is to collect revenue in the form of Import Duty. They are not trying to make it difficult, only doing their job. Ask and they'll make it easy for you to make it easy for them...Geo
