My experience is similar - FreeBSD subscription CDs have never attracted
duty and have enentually arrived. Boxes of give-away CDs have attracted
lots of duty. More expensive items (BRU and Applixware) have attracted
duty. I suspect that the Post Office (or whatever they are now called)
have a de-minimus limit for duty, below which it isn't worth their time
to collect it.
