if bring a console or handheld to other countries using aeroplane
will they checked anything??

is indonesia check all those thing?
just curious
they checked infront us or they take it away to other place and checked?

any of u try to bring it to other countries while in vacation

sorry for the bad eng,

I once brought my old Xbox to NZ. No problem, in fact the airport guy was like "cool, you got an Xbox!"

the indonesian would bring ur console to other place , turn it on play it for 24hours..and they said "waaaah bapak , console kamu bagus banget deh"..

Malaysia isn't much better actually, at least the KK Kastam

Is it me, or my gf was way more than lucky?

Coming back from Aussie the kastam said "Ah those who want to get their things check, come to the left lane". She went right. Didn't get halted. I was dumbstruck.

Sometimes, you just need to walk nonchalantly to the green lane. Easy as that.

Actually what need to be declared in this country? Stupid Kastam always ask this question but stupid Kastam never list out the items need to be declared

Because their list will change from time to time based on what they want for themselves

yeah lord_ashe is right...

customs officials suck because they have waaaaayyyyy to much power, your electronics that you got as a gift, taxed because they say so. The electronics that you brought from your homeland and bringing it back taxed because they say so...

in fact i remember one time a guy brought back a gaming PC, was not taxed...but the customs officials taxed the cables ....

I loathe the customs officials here because of the taxation on good, cmon man even cloth is taxed....wtf...customs in my opinion should be there to stop harmful goods from coming in like guns and drugs...but consumer goods should be not be touched because...since the consumer already paid for it...

sorry NZ is what?

how about m.card?like psp and nds??

i have some few homebrew game on my psp m.stick?

rilek bro.. they didnt check it..
unless u bring complete with box's and everything.. then u're making urself too obvious..
psp and nds, just put it in ur bagpack.. no need to worry..

usually there's nothing to be declared.. unless you bring in weapons, plants, etc.. but customs will randomly pick person to check the luggage.. so, it depends on your luck.. for console and handheld, there should be no tax. i have brought in PS3 to europe 2 times, not once have been taxed.

but i heard that you will be taxed if your console is still in box and brand new

I once brought my DreamCast and GameCube to NZ during Uni time.
When she saw i have a luggage full of wires, wavebirds, joysticks,
the custom officer look worry and remind me to study harder, dun waste too much time on games.

Yea she is right, i nearly failed my exams because of that bloody Zelda Windwakers & Shenmue & Resident Evil....

when I was commuting to Singapore, I even play my PSP while waiting in the queue

i see.tq 4 all the info guys

must not put in a box eh?

put where?in pockets for handheld?

how bout mp3??
i have few songs on my mp3 player,and i download it not buying the album

aiyaaa you. think logic common sense laa... takkanlah derang nak check one by one u beli ke tak, dalam beg nanti penuh dgn resit saja... kalau bawak ipod 80gb? beribu lagu dalam tu? nak check? bape hari ko kat kastam? 2 bulan? aiyaaa....

and about put where, put wherever u want to put lah.. as long as u can put. that kind of question pon ada.

ok2.
cuma nk kepastian je bro
lngkah brjaga2

isk.. sebab tu la ada org jual travelling bag untuk ps3 or xbox 360 or whatever console yg ko ada..
campak je sumer dalam tu.

cam msn cakap tu. .saiko ape nak check lagu ko satu2.. dah tu nak refer kat ape? soh bawak sumer album dari umah ko so that bole tau ori ke idak?
nape la ko suka tanya soalan pelik2...

the only concern is the box.. dont bring the box, and u're safe..
if u bring box, when u came back to malaysia later, custom might tax u since they maybe think that u bought that xbox from indonesia. kenapa nak susahkan diri nak menjawab nanti, walhal ade je cara lain lebih senang. tu je pon.
