Im going to nyc and bringing back lots of shopping!if i cut out labels lose bags and receipts,can i get fined?|113848

so is there anyway they can prove ive brought the stuff there? i mean i know its obvious but in the eyes of the law, will they have a leg to stand on? thanks amanda

If you cut out the labels how will they know that you bought them in New York? They may look new because you bought them to go to New York!!

Anyway, I am a New York regular and I always buy loads and have never been stopped. You watch next time I will now.

New York is Fab have fun shopping.

so long as your not bringing back a full container of shopping,you will be alright

i suggest that you hardly take any clothes with you, then buy loads and wear some of it whilst your there. so the tags wont be on, but that shouldnt matter because you couldnt return it when u get back home anyway! that will mean if you do get stopped, the clothes will be slighlty more worn!

but the likely hood is that u wont get stopped!

have a great time! im so jealous

happy shopping!!

Big mistake cutting out the labels! Why is it against the law to buy things in NY anyway..................maybe you are in another country or something..............why not just box them and ship them to your home?? I_m confused.

if every does not have tags and no receipts found then you are fine.....make sure you don_t leave any shopping bags and boxes for them to suspect you got it recently....

Whaaaaat???

Buy your items---all that you want and then SHIP them home via United Parcel Service... you still have to pay a duty but it will be much less then if you tried to bring the items back with you on the plane or boat or however you are getting back to Great Britian........besides, smuggling IS a crime...and you really do NOT want that kind of hassle... ESPECIALLY since the fines associated with this crime are more then TRIPLE what you would pay to have to parcels shipped home to you...

Im going to New York next year an want to do loads of shopping too. Ive been told by other people to cut out the labels and stuff too and to try and wear a lot of the stuff aswell. Im guna give it ago if they pull me i_ll say there clothes i took over but never wore.
