This is a little off the subject, but I don't know where else to turn.

The question is : Has anyone ever taken their own computer to France to use
for research work?  I am going to be working at IRCAM for 10 months, and they
want me to bring my own NeXT, i.e., two 40 pound large packages.  I was
planning on shipping them there.  It looks like I might have to pay 23% tariff
unless I can find the right papers.  If you have had experience with US->France
computer transport, I would appreciate finding out how you handled it.
