The box has a notice from Canonical explaining that the CDs are free promotional materials and there should be no customs due. Unfortunately not every country sees things the same way and every year someone somewhere has to pay, or at least argue with customs, before they can get their CDs. I don't think any of the New Zealand teams have ever had this problem though...
