I imported a gold dredge a couple of years ago from the states and the guy i got brought it off via e bay TOP bloke he threw every gold related thing he owned in bins and boxs it was xmas for me when it turned up looking at all the extra goodies well when i got to the bottum of 1 bin i could see a bit of sand n leaves i looked a little harder and zoom looked like some werd blood sucking mozzys straight out the garrage door !! .
customs isnt much better 1 year i came back from the uk after shearing when the foot and mouth outbreak was around so i declared all my gear which wasnt that clean to start with and customs wern,t even worried ....makes you wonder what they are actually doing with all the extra charges and fees . guess they just like to save the action for the Asians at customs that bring in fruit !
