The only real "problem" I came across in the move over was with a racing bike that I owned. I took it with me on the plane. As I was walking out the exit at the Seville airport, a couple of customs officials came up and asked me if the bike was new or used. They didn't seem to care when I purchased the bike, only if it had been used. I said it had, and that was really about all.
My guess is that custom fees are kind of a crap shoot...especially if it seems as if the item is new.
Sorry that I'm not that much help.
