You have to get rid of the packaging, and dump all the manuals etc or otherwise you might get a date with customs to explains why you have 10 unopened MBP's in your backpack and you get a nice import fee + VAT or you can leave them at the customs office. Also, you get about 10% tax added when buy.

Last time I did this, when the officials saw the number of laptops in my carryon they sent me over to the diplomat line for faster processing.

That's funny, when I flew in LA from Bali, I got stuffed in a room for four hours because I had a rock in my suitcase.

Returning from Singapore I was asked if I had any "rare feathers"... I said no but was still taken aside and searched.

I like processing through Newark, New Jersey the best. They seem to have the least propensity for wasting your (their) time, or else a very good nose on who the actual problems are in the crowd and focusing their attention on them. [edit: and these use beagles to check luggage! How cute is that.]

There is only anticlimax :) The ‘executive’ screener was kindly about helping me sort them into a line of individual trays and then back into the luggage and didn’t show the slightest curiosity about any of it.

>> You have to get rid of the packaging, and dump all the manuals

Good thing Apple laptops don't come with manuals. There isn't much much more than a couple stickers and a microfiber cloth in the box.
