The story is.... I found and got myself a GF 1000 from Japan and the damned customs have put a duty on it (asses)!

I have asked the customs people at the airport, where I work, what i can do... they said I could contest this by clearly stating that the "Article" has no commercial value (true), that it was a gift(semi-true), that the price on the invoice was/is for insurance purpose (semi-true), and that it is from the 80s with double malfunctioning cassette decks (true)....

I will give more details on why all of this is true and semi-true and why they put the duty on the parcel...

Thank you for reading. Good bye...
