Travel Question: Customs

Going home to Rothenburg ob der Tauber for a short vacation in a couple of weeks and I will be taking with me a motorcycle saddle I purchased here for a friend of mine.

I had that thing packed for travel yesterday (wouldn’t fit in my 28" suitcase), and after I got it back, I thought to myself, “Jesus! I hope I don’t have to unpack this thing to declare it for customs. That could be messy!”

Anybody know?

Thanks
