This is NOT meant to scare you and I hope it DOESN'T happen, but be prepared for a letter from US Customs asking you to hire a customs broker to help prepare a 'Formal Declaration'. If you do need that, it will run about $125 to hire the customs broker on top of the duty that customs charges. It won't NECESSESARILY happen, but be prepared.

Do you have the tracking #?

Yes, sadly, he's serious. I used to trade bootleg concert CD's and DVD's (mainly Iron Maiden) and started running into this problem after the 9/11 mess. A letter of formal declaration to receive $3 worth of burned CD-r's was just plain insane. The government seem to take any excuse to rip us off any more.
