I will be buying a cheap old parlour guitar while on holiday in the States this Novmber and I intend to bring home on the plane. Anyone know if I'm likely to get stiffed for import duty etc, its only going to be $225 so £110 or so. Its a pressy for my son who will take it to Uni with him, so hence it has to be cheap!! Thoughts anyone?
