How to buy an M10 cheap

This is a popular internet myth (check the tables): (1) different types of camera and lenses are treated differently. (2) different countries (for example Germany vs. UK vs. Japan vs. Korea and/or Canada) are treated differently, and (3) there is a threshold ($2k?) that the M10 certainly exceeds. I have paid customs on a lens coming from the UK, for instance.

A more detailed version of the above document is here:

I didn't pay any customs on a limited edition Rolleiflex from a Leica shop in Holland, that was a lot more than $2000. And I didn't pay any customs on a Zeiss lens from Leicashop Austria which was a lot more than $2000.
They just shipped it to me, I didn't do anything to avoid paying customs.
 
I would, pedantically, take issue, with tongue in cheek, to the thread title, in my mind this strategy does not make the M10 cheap, less expensive certainly, but cheap?
