Luxury Goods. Why you should be careful buying them abroad.

I have talked about customs in a past blog, but it had more to do with movies.  I just wanted to send out a warning.  If you buy luxury items in China, keep the receipt if it is from a reputable company.  When you declare it, they will want to see it.  If it is like my visit, they will take it away no questions asked.  Well, maybe one:  Do you want to pay a fine or donate the items?  If you buy in a bargaining situation, be careful.  That is the stuff they are targeting.  More chances than not, it is a knockoff.  We just stay away from that kind of stuff.  It's not worth the hassle Customs will give you.
