Re: [Leica] U.S. Customs

I would absolutely get a form from the custom folks.  It takes a couple of 
minutes to fill it out and could save you lots of money (and hassle) if you 
are stopped on the way back in.  You could, alternatively, carry copies of 
receipts for your equipment if time is of essence and you cannot get the form 
to fill out before your trip.  The receipts would just help prove prior 
ownership.  Or, you could just take a chance and carry none of the above, but 
it could prove quite costly if your aren't lucky.  Do you feel lucky?

this very issue. I chose to fill out the forms.  No problem)
