yes, customs can be a nightmare, and not only the fee. I had a friend who ordered a bathroom scale from Amazon and customs told him it was classified as a “medical device” and he needed an import license for it.
Terry ********
Yes. But I think the product actually shipped from Hong Kong.

I’ve never done it myself but before the pandemic a friend came to visit on visa exempt. He went to get an extension and he told me they only gave him 15 more days. So, I don’t know.

You only get one extension on a 30 day visa exempt entry. I think it’s only for 15 days. If you get a 60 day tourist visa, the extension is 30 days.

technically speaking it does not remain their money. It becomes the bank’s money. The bank then owes the amount to them. In a financial crisis, they might not get the money back. If you doubt me, study what happened in Cyprus.

that’s quite a brilliant comment. Have any more?

However you want to interpret it, it’s a stupid law. Vaping is much less destructive to your health than the cigarettes that are completely legal.
