Informal Entry and license on copy right

Hi John, a few months ago there had been some discussion on informal entry. My
understanding is that if the shipment is under $2000 and shipped directly to my
home then I would not have to use a custom broker. Does it have to be via air
freight? Or it could be via surface as long as the shipment is coming to my
home.

I am dealing with candy here, one of the product lines this SE Asia manufacture
has is candy wrapped or shaped in a well-done Japanese cartoon character. The
sales director told me that they are authorized and licensee by the Japanese
media production company. And that every candy I buy from them, royalty is
calculated into the total price. The Japanese media production company has also
trade marked the character here in the US. Now, will I have trouble importing
and selling these candy in the US? If I apply the idea of "importer as
manufacture" then I think I will need to obtain license from the Japanese
company, but I don't really make them and I am paying royalty already when
buying from the manufacture. Any idea?

Thanks
