premix issue

Hi, i own a rx8 in Pakistan,here we dont have variety of 2-stroke oils available.Currently im using Castrol Go 2T it states that its meets API TC ,JASO FB. Just want your opinion should i keep using its as a premix or not?
I was just about to order idemitsu premix but duty on oils is sky high and only one bottle will cost me around $70-80, so there no point to get it.

Is there a way you can import it without paying the high taxes? We often import things into the US and have the sender mark it as a gift and say the value is way less than it actually is... works like a charm.

well we have tried this trick many times sometimes it works and sometimes not. But the things is ups charges too much freight on oils, so wont be ordering few bottles my minimum order will be of 12 bottles, and the guy at the custom's office wont be that lame that he consider so many bottles as gift.
