The trick with this is to get the store to wright out a bill that is far, far (within reason) cheaper than he actually paid...then if he gets caught he'll only pay tax on a much lower bill...

BEWARE- customs ain't that stupid, even when its a VW part!!

....saying that though, they never stopped me and I had a Chevy supercharger in one bag and a full turbo kit for a bug, in the other ;))

2 B Hounest I don't pay that much more than carrying and I get the stuff mailed over regular....

Be lucky ;)
