Also before you go give a call to US Customs. Japanese products are heavily taxed. I do not want to see you pay $200 in import taxes for a $20 part.

Instead of lugging 100 pounds worth of parts with you, Why don't you just have it mailed to yourself?

If you bring it into the US in your luggage and it is valued at less that $500 ( I think that is the amount), you pay no duty or tax.
