The answer

You must pay the amount estimated as customs or taxes on gold, unless it is proven that these fees are illegitimate, unjust, and not spent on lawful purposes. In that case, there is no blame upon you for evading their payment, even if that involves paying a sum to a person of influence to facilitate the import of gold.
