A floppy filled with software worth thousands of francs: Techie can't take it, customs won't keep it. What to do?

I remember when transporting software from US to Canada on a magnetic tape was charged import duty. So they punched the software onto punched cards. OK, since the cards were punched, scrap paper so no charge.

With the internet billions of dollars cross the border without customs being aware. Welcome to the information age!
