Mind you, given all the 'celebs' you see wanging on about how much they spent on trips to the US, the customs blokes must be all looking the other way these days.
Paying your Duty and VAT is an honour based system since they can't even check 1% of the people coming into the country. That's why so few people pay it.

I picked up a K&N FIPK for about £140 ish all in when I went to the states - then came back and decided I didn't want it so flogged it on ebay for £190 - not bad! Big old thing to bring back though (I go to the US every year and take at least 2 empty suitcases with me though to bring back stuff!)
