This is NOT something I would get away with here in Iceland. I would need a false 'receipt' in the package or some way of proving to the customs people the worth of the camera. Without a receipt in the package it has been a hassle for me to get items through customs. I have ordered various used photo items from people in the US. regards, Jakob S. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
