> There are two evasive actions we are considering mostly out of protest to being taxed without Congressional approval: I don't think you have a moral duty to pay tariffs, but evading the tariff doesn't seem like a very effective form of "protest", as if you are successful at evading it, probably nobody else (except maybe a couple of HN readers) will ever know. If you're interested in the protest angle in the sense of telling someone with some kind of power about your problem, you might contact your U.S. representative's office and talk about how the tariff is threatening your U.S. manufacturing business. > A shoebox of 1000 small circuit boards almost ensures I'll be questioned Depending on the airport (maybe depending on the specific flight) there may not be any individual examination of most passengers' baggage. On the other hand, intentionally misleading the agents who are examining you could potentially get you in a lot of trouble, as you can be punished just for that, separately from the tariff evasion.
