me and a buddy just got back from europe last night. as we get our stuff from the carousel a customs agents starts talking to us and the like getting cozy. he asks us where we have been and stuff. he asks for our customs declerations and am thinking he is going to waive us through. but no somehow we get selected. my found a lot of outlets in italy (prada,gucci,fendi,armani,d&g) and the stuff was dirt cheap. he ended up buying a lot of stuff for his mom and sis as well as for himself.

the customs agent thinks he is importing the stuff to sell and confiscates his stuff, i go through without getting checked.

customs agents are the biggest idiotic morons in the world. all the men's stuff is the same size (his). now he has to hire a customs broker and figure this shiyat out.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cusssssssssssssssstommmmmmmmms sucks................

my step dad new a guy, who is british, and decided to go on a trip to florida with his family, planning to take his kids to disneyland. So during the passport bit i guess, the guy and the customs officer were talking, and thr guy mentioned he was gonig to take flying lessons while he was there (i assume it's way cheaper to do in america anyway). Bad thing to say, guy got taken to a interigation room for ages, and although he said he'd cancel the flying lessons, him and his family had to go straight back to england.
How pissed off would you be? a 7 hour flight, to get there and have to just fly back straight away

He should have opened the boxes and everything before hand, made it look used. Then he could have put up the argument that it was his personal stuff that he bought in the US.

He assumed the person was guilty until proven innocent.

That is fvcking retarded. Yes many people come from different countries for flight training in the U.S. The paranoia in this country makes me ill. The lesson here of course is to keep your mouth shut when talking to customs and answer only what you are asked.

Did your buddy declare all the stuff he purchased?

If not, he gets what he deserves. Yes, he has to declare everything, even if it means he needs to pay import duties. If he lied on his form, I say the government should just sell all the stuff at an auction, since he commited a crime and should not profit from it.
