Add VAT!!!!!??????
You declare the value as something low, and state that it is a gift. Works every time. You can ship a lot of JFETs for about 3 USD in postage.

If you've got some 2N5114s laying around, shoot me an email. I found that half of my stock was defective.

Yes, if the sender is not a company it should usually work.
Otherwise it is a more random process. Guess what, last
time I ordered books from Amazon US the Swedish customs
even charged a fee of over $5 for inspecting the package!
Of course, some companies are willing to declare the value
as zero and call it a sample or something, which might work.
I had a collegue who regularly bought books through a friend
in the US. This friend used to pack some dirty laundry with
the books so the customs wouldn't bother.

You declare it as a "commercial sample". Also works every time. Even to Sweden......I've done it.

Are they difficult to get or do you just want to help people get
rid of their surplus stuff? It's listed in the catalogue from a
company here in Sweden. There's no price stated, though.

I´ll hope it works the next time I´ll buy stuff from you

Yes, they've been quite tough to come by since the demise of Siliconix. And the original Siliconix versions had a very high defect rate, like nearly 50% in the last batch I bought.

Are we talking about Yugo or semiconductors? Come to think of it, even Yugos aren't that bad, 🙂
