That's 15 so far. Not sure if there's a certain number where this should be capped or not... We may want to cap it at the $2000 USD mark (not including shipping) given the import rules mentioned previously. So at $~130, that'd actually be 15.3. So 15. Or groups of 15.

oh yea, just another tip for you. You will need to provide a Bill of lading, packing list and invoice which the packing list and invoice can be created by you. You can actually put lower value per item, but not too much or else the custom officer will suspect. And you might want to declare as different snorkel for different vehicle instead of one type of vehicle with a lot of amount. You will have to pay duty on this, they will consider this as commercial goods. The custom has a code to determine your rate by HTS code (Harmonized Tariff Scheduled).

Check and see if you have a local custom office so you can have the paperwork ready and clear it yourself. By the importation law, as long as the value is less that $2000 for commercial item, you can file informal entry by yourself. But sometimes the custom officer can be an asshole and make you do formal entry. You will probably end up paying $200-$250 extra by using broker. And if it is your 1st time entry, the custom might tag your goods for examination, that might throw you off for another $300. It happened to me for my 1st entry, so I want you to know and all the mudder know the final price may vary if that happen. Something for you to take into consideration.
