What's so wrong? a) it's a lie, and b) it's illegal.
Another way to save on incoming duty and tax (especially if it's parts
you're shipping) can be to describe the contents as USED toys. In some
places (the UK at least) that makes a difference and even what we describe
as "new" parts (sorted straight from new sets into bags and sold) are "used"
from the point of view of customs - they've been bought, boxes opened and
pieces removed and done things with. MISB sets would be about the only thing
you can't do this with.
