I know from working with Customs on this side, that there is no way Customs can acurately determine the value of a chip. I guarantee they don't know a Paulson from a slugged chip. I would suggest finding a seller that is willing to work with you to help out with this. Perhaps 2 invoices, 1 for you to pay and one for customs with a much lower value. No it's not right, but I am sure it could be done. I know it can be done coming here to the US.
