You could try Dan Deutsch - he's a mate of Rob's, and a mate I'm looking forward to having a pint with in Memphis. I've Bcc'd
him on this mail.

You could ask Rob to send the invoice seperately - I KNOW this isn't an issue, I get DVDs all the time and never pay tax. The
invoice is never included and the declared value is always a lie. Ask him if he can write "used car parts" and value it at
$50. Without an invoice, it's up to customs to guess the value. It's not US customs either, it's UK customs who check it on
the way in.
