I, Like Ray, am also confused. I have been ordering parts for my Scimitar   
for the
past 10 years from England. I rarely have paid import tax/duty on any of   
the items.

I usually deal with the same person/vendor in the UK and always ask him   
to
put a green "Customs", sticker on the package. The description on this   
sticker
usually reads "Used auto parts - no commercial value"

In the past year, I have been receiving parcels via Federal Express   
rather than the
regular post office. The Federal Express label also carries the same   
words.
I have had both small and VERY large pieces sent over from in England,   
and only on
1 occasion do I remember getting a separate bill from Fed. Ex for   
customs/duty
