Thanks for all the info so far guys - much appreciated.

Yes, I can certainly see merits for not worrying about doing all the paper work if it's only gonna save you maybe $80, but I'm actually talking about importing a high end, pre-owned guitar, in the $3k-$4k dollar bracket, where last time I did this I got stung almost $500 at customs.

The problem here is, it's not coming from the original manufactur direct, or even from a authorised dealer, etc so gets a bit messy when trying to provide a 'country of origin' certificate as such.

I figure I've got nothing to lose ( besides my time and maybe $50) in filling out the paperwork as best as I can and submitting.
