Customs sure do care about it if it is above the 1K mark. I have purchased a number of high priced second hand equipment on Astromart and every time customs wanted to know what the item was and it's price and if they even suspect that the price isn't right they will hold the delivery up. I have noted that the trent on Astromart over the years has been restricted to CONUS sales only for most US based sellers. I laugh it off in the end especially when the item doesn't sell immediately and the seller has reduced the price to push for a CONUS sale.
