Customs in UK

[goofygal]

Hi

just thinking about bringing things back from Orlando, has anyone ever been stopped in the UK? I know its wrong to consider buying more but the limits are just so stupidly low :(

[Dawn]

Don't know anyone who's ever been stopped. I'm not going to condone it but the limits are low and the bargains plentiful. :wink:

No alligator products though. :nono:

take the labels off wear them and wash them - who's to say you didn't take them out :D

[ukwdwnut]

always gone thru nothing to declare and there has never been anyone there ever

:yes: i agree!

i haven't and don't know anybody who has been stopped.

[Skywatcher]

I agree with Mick never seen any customs officals in the NtD section

I did hear on another board.. from a customs guy himself.... that they are really looking for bigger fish to fry...

[Skywatcher]

I should hope so too :yes:

[mumof2]

i say spend as much as you want and keep your fingers crossed!

So should I not bring Shamu back with me then?

[Dawn]

I think Shamu is covered under the CITES agreement. So no. No you may not.

[Slowhand]

The customs people would also probably smell something fishy was going on! :lol:

i have never been stopped but even if you wash and wear your clothes if stopped and questioned the onus is on you to prove that you already owned the item. Jon worries about this, i just walk fastly thorough :unsure:

[mumof2]

we went out with 2 bags and came back with 5 - nobody ever seems to be there anyway!

going out, wherever we go, we *always* get searched! :unsure:
