customs

[suna]

hi i have my suit case packed and in it i have a per of garden loppers with long handles and small blades to cut twigs about 3" the blades are still wrapped in it original wrapper in plastic so will i need to tell customs that i have them

[Ice.Maiden]

I'd pre-warn them, because the scanner'll most likely pick them up anyway.

[suna]

ok im travaling via coach to hungary wont go though any scanners but shall i tell them is there ask me for anything to declare

[Rosetta]

Why are you taking them with you. Strange

[Rosetta]

Where is the name calling?

[Rooboru]

Short answer is NO!
There is no duty payable on clippers, and I don't think they qualify as a deadly weapon, so no need to say anything., Just have a story ready in case you are asked why you have them in your case.

[dzug]

If you are going by coach to Hungary you are not going to pass through customs anyway so there's going to be noone to tell

I would think that, in an age where they take mail scissors away from you, you probably should be declaring any "sharp/bladed" item.

just because you probably won't get caught, doesn't mean it's right.

[sara3]

or nail scissors, even!

[RevFunk]

Why on earth are you taking them????

[RevFunk]

Maybe problems with an unruly privet....

If its in your hold luggage no problem.Ive brought electric jigsaws and other power tools here from uk because they were 75% cheaper.you dont even need to declare .Its not like you can get access to them once loaded in the luggage compartment .


i thought someone wouldve pointed this out earlier.



If however youre thinking of taking it in your handluggage you will probably find yourself bent over a stainless steel counter with a large mans arm halfway up your bottom.
