Buy seconds?

My sister does import brokerage and she told me that the sender is supposed to file a customs declaration of value when they send the package.

My brother had a business assignment in the UK for almost a year, traveling back to the US periodically.  As a birthday gift, he bought me two pair of Gold Seals - went to the factory and everything!   Since it was a gift, he was able to bring it back duty-free. If you know someone in the UK, that might be an option.

I wish we did - I have an uncle living in Switzerland but he's resisted bringing skates back because Graf are Swiss German not French which is the side he lives on, I'm scratching my head going surely they have stores across the country or he can find French speakers?
