Many moons ago they used to prohibit those 2.4ghz cordless fones...and lots of other things...now they sell them everywhere..times are a changin', good luck with the vhf though..there aqre customs agents assigned to the DHL facility, and also designated inspectors tht are DHL employees, but that doesn't change the rules, and whether it's a govt customs employee, or a designated inspector, they will/do enforce the laws of the land..they may be able to accomodate a permit for you though.
