CDs duty and customs questions

I am in need of getting a large number of my CDs to Europe next week. 500 plus
After researching the logistics I find the whole process fairly daunting...
Originally I thought it would be simple.. That I would send them air cargo 
and pay the 24 % duty.  The customs hours of operation etc make it darn near 
impossible to arrive and pick them up in time to get to our gigs so I realize 
now I need a broker to get this all done for me in advance.
In the past I have travelled with a box without declaring the merchandise but 
I was wondering what other musicans do when crossing borders?
The methods I have researched will now cost me almost $1,000 cdn.
sheesh!
any helpful tips out there?
