Android supports multiple user profiles on the same device. Maybe being logged in to a stripped down dummy account when crossing the border would be enough? I'm guessing the storage is encrypted on a per user basis, so as long as the customs officer isn't aware of it it even a device clone should leave your actual data safe.

If it's a random officer on the side of the road, then this might work.
If it's at a border crossing, assume that they're using forensic tools to dump your entire phone, which will bypass any user-profile shenanigans you might try to do.
