I imagine you could do the same going to China - I shipped a Tak bag once to a friend in China, and declared it at $10. Second hand is second hand - it's value is not a new item. Additionally, a faulty/broken item essentially has NO VALUE since it does not function, so there is no lie.

Good luck!
Thanks Lewis,

Exactly right, this is what QHY are stating as well...no commercial value etc, hopefully will not take too long to get it back, not the type of thing to happen when I have just built my new roll of obs and the only first light was a quick focus before the clouds rolled in....
