sa customs airport naman, may nagshout out na "if anyone has anything to declare.." shrug your shoulders lang and say you have nothing to declare then pass right up their area..
many times I go back from my short trips abroad may inu-uwe ako, either inside my checked-in baggage, carry on backpack or a separate box extra to my luggage -- allowed naman 2 baggages checked-in eh
as long as the item/s are opened box and for personal use, dapat no customs tax yan =)) if you bring home multiple items like 3 cameras or mag-doubt sila na pangbenta at pagkaka-kitaan, sisingiln nila kayo ng tax. just be ready to show your item/s receipt. dun naman sila mag-base ng tax niyan
di pa naman ako nag-uwe ng malaking box talaga like LED TV hehehe
