I've had no problem with customs. Put the Mac in an over-the-shoulder
carrying case , look cool, and wear a tie.
If it's a Mac+ you'll need a 240 to 110 V transformer and a plug adapter (or
a new power cord.) The adapter you _must_ buy in the US {For some
ridiculous reason, you can never buy an adapter to use in the country you're
in, only for machines made in the the country you're in.} You can buy the
power cord in the UK (about #10?)
I'd buy the transformer in the US; most UK products are over-priced: there's
no Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
