I've got another customs caveat for you.  We recently shipped a printer to the
Netherlands for use while we were over there doing co-development with a 
university in Delft.  It went over fine.  Coming back, it got held up in Memphis
by customs (not that we needed it back here for a demonstration or anything :-))
for a few days.  Apparently, the printing media has the word "film" printed on
the packaging (we also send a spare roll of media in case we ran out), so customs
made us execute affidavits swearing that the film contained no obscene or
pornographic material.

Moral:  make sure all "film"s are marked "Unexposed film"

Don't 'cha love it?
