:rolleyes: Would want to know if it's ok to bring in a cctv camera set via airport (From Dubai) -- will there be any hassles? Tax to pay? anybody have done that before? ;) (either handcarried or baggage)

CCTVs shall be siezed by customs unless you have a company letter or a saudi person who can release them. I had a similiar experience and had to use a highly connected saudi friend to get them released. However i may add i was bringing in lots of them and a big recorder too.

However if you are just bringing one or two cctv cams i dont think its an issue. Bring something which you are willing to risk being seized . Its a 50/50 chance.

Hii,

Have you brought? the CCTV's? Any problems. I have a plan to take (from KSA to INDIA) a small system (4CAMS+DVR+CABLES+HDD) for my farm house. Any issues with customs.


Thnks in advance
