Didn't his wife also try to smuggle some items into this country to avoid paying duty?

Yep, and got caught by those 'Mean Spirited' Customs officers.

Well, it appears that Governor Jeb's wife, Columba Bush, has run afoul of the law. She reportedly was fined $4,000 for not declaring items at Customs upon returning from a shopping spree in Paris. Could happen to anybody. In fact, every time my wife goes shopping in Paris, she overspends and then lies about it to Customs. It's just the way the game is played.

The governor has explained that it was just a mistake. An error in judgment, if you please. It seems that Mrs. Bush simply did not want Jeb to know how much she spent on her trip, and so that is why she failed to declare the items.
