Will we get called to the naughty room?

It's a lot easier when you are dealing with a registered charity than a private individual. As noted, also sometimes the customs officers are just looking for a little extra income.

 

I trusted that "guy I met over the internet" more then I did those customs guys. When they told me "just give it to us instead"..... ya, they were never going to get it.

You might also ask Princess for contact info for their port agent, see if they can assist.

There are a lot of schools in the United States that would love to get donations. Some barely have any supplies, and even in middle-class areas, the teachers have to buy their own supplies for class or go without. A friend of mine has a school she donates to regularly in West Virginia. Just an option.
