There are news report of PRC Custom imposing a 20% tax/duty on each iphone & iPad coming into the country (or about $1,000 RMB - based on the fair market value of these unlocked wifi-enabled devices)
One supposingly has the option of not paying the duty & request that it be checked at the border entry point, and reclaim upon departure - not an option if one is coming in from point A and leaving via point B.
