Lego is a duty free item in whatever quantity. If they try to collect
customs or duties, fight it. You'll do better if you dig up the
reference, posted here on LUGNET at some time in the past, to the US
customs web site which clearly shows that Lego is duty free, as are all
other plastic construction toys.

Here is the message:

Note that this status only applies to construction toys imported from
countries which we have "Normal Trade Relations" (NTR) with (used to be
called "Most Favored Nation"). I don't think there are any European
countries that don't have NTR status.

It's nice that they changed their terminology. "Most Favored Nation"
sounded pretty silly when most countries had it.

That's interesting, because many European countries charge duties on them
when I ship them away to people--even quantities as small as DM100 (which
should tell you which country it is, ja?).  Hmmm...maybe it's time to call
Commerce...
