मूर्खः स्वल्पव्ययत्रासात्सर्वनाशं करोति हि।

कः सुधी संत्यजेद्भाण्डं शुल्कस्यैवातिसाध्वसात्॥

Only an idiot would just throw away substantial possessions just fearing a little more expenditure on them. Who else other than a moron would jettison the huge bundle of goods just because he is hesitant to pay the necessary levies and duties at the checkpost?
