    The worse case I heard of had not to do with jewelry, but with an
    international shipment for a publishing company going from Norway to
    Lisben, Portugal. The company I was working for had decided to print
    a book outside the country for the first time. This was back when
    they still had to have everything converted to special films for
    printing, something which costs quite a bit. Anyway, they sent all
    the files and films via DHL to Portugal, or so they thought. When
    they didn't arrive in Portugal, they contacted DHL, where they found
    that DHL would only cover aproximately $100 of the parcel's much
    higher value. They eventually found that instead of Lisben, they had
    gone to Lagos, Nigeria, where customs didn't want to release them.
    When they finally released them, they ended up in Brussels where
    customs wanted a huge sum there to send them on to Portugal. It did
    eventually get to the printers, but not without sereious hassle and
    delays! Just imagine if it had been gems or jewelry...it never would
    have gotten out of Nigeria!
