Check any wooden things you are about to buy for litle neat holes like someone has stuck a drawing pin in and taken it out(borer bugs). Also shake or bang anything down that is woven. Customs will either confiscate such items or offer you the opportunity to pay big bucks to get it fumugated and posted to you. We ended up leaving one item at customs that we had only paid a few dollars for, but it was sad to give it up as it was beautiful. Wish I had looked closer before I bought it.
