dear old parts
this is not the case ...
you can mark the box with what ever you like ...
customs will open it and decide for them selves what is in there and what
the purpose is
marking a package incongruously may result in criminal charges or worse yet
denial of permission to cross the border in person
antique is only for vehicles registered as antique or collector ...
Been there done that ...
Customs folks are not stupid they are not blind or inept
for the most part ...
they do though have something called discretion ... and that means
when you are in their world you operate by their rules ...
yours
