My friend wants me to buy few items from Korea and ship it to States. I was wondering if the items will be seized or does my friend need to pay duties? I'm just sending few DVD's and 2 purses.

Depends on the value and if customs will stop it. Most likely not. If the dvds are opened and the purses are used, then there is no issue.

I actually took a illegal copy of a DVD back to the US with me and got my entire suitcase checked by customs and they did nothing. It could have been because it was Rocky Balboa. DOH!

The last time I checked, the value has to be over $1,000 to pay a duty in the U.S. I wouldn't worry about what you're planning to send.
