is 8 us dolllars a kilo,been there done that,it often costs us $150 to leave,and its all presents.If you buy more than one of same thing,customs will think you have a market stall,so will be hard on you.So dont.If you buy any wood,check all over it for tiny little holes in the wood,dont buy if it has any,these insects are called borers,customs will take it for quarentine,and charge you $30 for fumigation.But you do get it back,its just not a bargain anymore.I think different states have different rules,some states are coming down hard on copyright stuff,and confiscating it.be awefull to pay excess then have it taken away.I find customs here very good,and understand they have a job to do,if your not sure declare it.
