why did u use a broker?

my brother bought a set of volk racing ce28 time attacks for his evo. it was us$2400 for the rims, and whatever shipping was. ups shipped it by air, but it got pinged by customs, so he had to pay $700 in duties.
all up the rims cost him $4050. which is expensive, but considering they r limited ed and no longer made, then its bearable.

my brother ordered them before i could tell him to ask the the seller in teh states to declare the rims at a cheaper amount, thus reducing the taxes.
alternatively, i have heard that if the items r less than $1000, then no taxes will be charged, so if u can send them to 4 different addresses, then u could lessen the chance of getting taxed

also, why did u get tyres? were they a lot cheaper in the end?
