In Canada, I've found that USPS/Canada Post are the best at the border to skip over items, not charge duties or not question the value on the customs form.
I ordered a Conn 14H and the declared value was $50. UPS requested that I provide documentation of proof and so on so forth. (The price I paid for it was actually $50)... At the same time, I had a mint Conn 4H that was declared to be worth $40 (1/10th of its price) and Canada Post didn't even raise the slightest of issues.

Re: MAW pistons
Totally agree with Bloke. I am liking mine more and more as I play them.
I'd love a set for my Yamaha 822 F tuba!

Re: MAW pistons
Having never been quite satisfied with the trombone slide workmanship out here in the Netherlands, I once sent my slide out for a tune-up in the States (with success, btw).
It was necessary to have the postal/customs office notate ahead of time that the instrument part was MINE and that it was coming BACK after REPAIRS.
It is possible, one just has to find the official who's responsible for this.
