My mom and I are traveling to NYC together. Can we be together at the border control station...
Even if you were over 18, you should be able to attend together since you're family and you're traveling together. This is particularly true if your baggage is at all intermingled, i.e. if you have t …

Do I need to declare ice axes at customs?
Always, if in doubt, declare them.

Do I have to declare over-the-counter painkillers when going to the USA?
You should absolutely declare them. It doesn't look like you need to, but it's always safest if you do. The worst case scenario with these pills is that they might be seized by Customs, but if that …

Can I bring a sex toy in checked-in luggage travelling to Mauritius but transiting in Dubai?

Why does the UK border entry officer always ask about personal and family details?
Unless you have leave to remain in the UK, a visa doesn't give you the right to enter the UK by itself. It's certainly a big help. However, the Border Force maintains the right to question your circ …

Can I travel from the UK to the USA with my tarantula (Grammostola pulcher) - Brazillian Black?
It looks like you will need to contact US Fish and Wildlife Services in order to see if your spider is admissible. There is a good chance that it isn't.

Two passports, questioned by immigration?
If South Africa has exit controls, use your South African passport when you leave the country as this will match South Africa's records.

Can I travel into the U.S. with nexus even though my passport has expired?
From personal experience, while Saagar's post about using the kiosk is accurate, land crossings using NEXUS during a passport renewal process are fine. I asked US and Canada customs and they both adv …

Going through Paris airport customs with 5 cell phones
If they are your property and you will not be leaving them in the EU (giving them away, selling them, etc.) then you should be fine.

Can we carry 3 laptops from the USA to Germany?
If it's clear that the computers are for your personal use, and are reasonable, I don't see why you should have any problems. One laptop per person is certainly reasonable these days, and having a se …

Entry to the US with an expired Nexus
No, it is not. You are permitted to renew as early as one year prior to expiry so there is no need to leave renewal to the last minute.
You can, however, use a non-NEXUS lane as usual, using your pa …

Transiting through Montreal on flight from France to Chicago
They do need an ETA. They will clear Customs, although the customs check is a less-involved one if they are transiting. I'm assuming they are EU citizens and if so, they won't need a visa.
