http://www.stratosec.com/Forum/showt...=importing+kit - this thread is not very long, but it summarizes some of the questions you might have. Once you get a customs broker, its not hard at all. Just a lot of paperwork to fill out. I found my broker by cold calling a lot of local guys here in the port of detroit, eventually I found people who were willing to understand and or deal with this kind of thing. Of course, this is just based on my personal experience.
