Customs Allowances/Experiences
In the general spirit of "how to beat the system" (without ripping anyone off, Aubie!), where does one find the customs allowances for each country?
I am never carrying alcohol or cigarettes (I don't smoke and no one living in Belgium needs to bring in booze), nor am I ever carrying anything expensive or prohibited. But, this will be my first post-Xmas gift haul into Europe. I'm not expecting Cartier this year, but I probably will be bringing back 15+ books. I'm carrying an American passport with a Belgian residency card. How strict are the customs agents? Going back and forth from the US-Canada, unless you were carrying yellow margarine, no one cared, but I'm not sure how it is here.
