German customs tends to start smelling a rat when you ship something worth hundreds of dollars declared as a few bucks. Not sure about Italian customs, but they may think along similar lines since Italy is again on a mission to collect more taxes etc...

Extremepsi is only a few minutes from my house. If you want to order an IC there, I could pick it up and ship it over; declared at a somewhat more realistic value.
