Who would risk it for a few pounds shipping and handling or even a few hundred pounds profit on the sale. If caught you stand to loose so much more than that.

I don't understand the part about getting caught and what's there to loose other than the cost of the purchase and or the repair? One could contact the seller and exporter/importer to claim some compensation that was thought to be due, but is it possible to violate a proof law in the US?
