I have been pricing out the cost of shipping some of my personal belongings and yeah - no. So I am further downsizing. My question is if I pack it into a suitcase can I bring it as checked baggage - it is stuff like some paintings my daughter has done, some little and I mean little collectables, some art supplies, that kind of thing. I tried contacting the airline and that was less than satisfactory - apparently airlines no longer have real people to speak with and their FAQ pages tell you NOTHING. Is there anyone out there with an answer to my inquiry?

Thanks JoeK. I don't know how us newbies would survive without your expertise.

I note on the website "Goods worth the equivalent to or greater than US$100 shall be subjected to pay customs duties and taxes. If the customs value of goods is in excess of US$300, they must be declared in the Customs Declaration Form. If it is less than US$300, the goods must be declared in the Non-commercial Customs Declaration Form."

Do you know if this refers to personal items such as watches, laptops etc.? I know that normally such items are not taxed but perhaps Cambodia's rules are more strict.
