Also - I will second Alan's observation that Customs duty is a hit-or-miss thing. You're best off figuring that the duty will be 24% when you budget your custom weave, and then, if you don't wind up being charged duty, just use it as mad money. This is a question of the difference between evading and avoiding. It's illegal to evade taxes by claiming that something is what it isn't. On the other hand, if US Customs decides that they will not charge you duty, you have avoided taxes, and that is not illegal. So, it's pretty much a matter of finger-crossing. But you SHOULD plan on paying duty.
