Strange.  I have shipped electronic equipment valued at $1500 in the
manufacturer's carton at the FedEx counter with no questions.  One time
someone came in with one of those commercial fiberglass shipping
containers, declared it as electronic equipment with valuation in the
five figures, and was not asked to open or have it checked.  I suppose
that this would also be the case if the ham equipment was packed in a
Pelican case.
