It looks like you have made your mind up but a few years ago i was playing for a team in Germany and we got a team deal on about 9 or ten Nyx Trixes from the states, and they got round it the massive tax bill by having them marked up as sporting goods for the import guys and we ended up paying much less tax and they are actually sporting goods so no Fibs there.
May be of no use as it was Germany and a good few years ago but it may be an avenue worth looking down.
Just my 2p hope it helps.
