Bringing in Audio CDS from China to the US. Any problems?

[gwlam12]

So I've been making some purchases of audio CDs here in China from regular stores and not from the streets or anything. Will US customs have a problem with that if I bring them back to the US with me? They look real but being that I'm in China, I'm going to guess that they're not.

I brought some back when I was in China. Didn't have a problem at all.

They need to spun the opposite direction is all.

I've heard stories of people getting fined $1000 per DVD they brought in. It doesn't happen for everybody, of course, but if it happens for people with audio CDs, it'll be soemthing for me to think about.

i brought back tons of (probably) illegal porn from taiwan.... as well as burned cds, dvds, software... no problems at all

I brought a 10-15 game/music/movie CDs back with me from the Middle East once, they didn't ask a thing.

i dont know. ive brought many cds back from china (of questionable authenticity of course) and the customs agents never searched my baggage. they pick you out randomly though and i have no idea if they're okay with it.

Even if they pick you out, they're more concerned with you carrying bombs or weapons than you carrying a few bootleg cds or dvds. Not that I'm condoning such behavior. Just don't bring back any knives, katanas, or other weapons.
