| Sep 12, 2014 at 6:25 | comment | added | Fattie | "Sorry, I won't/can't pay" Note the "can't" -- the bottom line is -- again this was just a footnote, the OP is asking about "at the airport" situations -- surprisingly I've found over the years that (at least in most countries) if you get something in the post and can't pay the tax in question, they will send it back at their expense. I'm afraid I don't know what happens "at the airport" .. confiscation, or some sort of similar "send it back" situation. | |

| Sep 11, 2014 at 14:22 | comment | added | Fattie | Note that, if you get something in the POST, and the local authorities assert you should pay some sort of duty, and, you don't want to pay the duty: Generally you can say "Sorry, I won't/can't pay" and (in most countries) the customs authorities will in fact send it back to the sender (i.e., nat no cost to you). (In the case of Fedex etc, they "have to do this" as part of their deal w/ the authorities.) This can be quite handy if you are * cough * trying to get away with not paying fees on something (or it's incredibly difficult to learn whether you have to or not) and you want to try it. | |
