Have the part labeled "engineering prototypes" with a price of zero. That way you won't pay customs fees. I used to do that with lots of parts shipped overseas and was never charged customs.

Remove radiator cap. Start car. If fluid starts gushing out you have a real problem with the head gasket. Easiest way to replace is remove the engine and do the work.
