I'll talk to mako about this and see what we can do about the customs thing. We have a template letter though located at: http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~mako/ubuntu_cds-customs_letter-generic.pdf This is one issue the loco can probably address, or in the long term, have locally pressed CDs (it has been under study). If I'm not mistaken, the CDs are valued for at least 1 Euro. All customs worldwide require valuation of items for what its worth. I receive CDs directly without any problems.
