Hi there, don't know if this is in the right place but figured I'd let you figure that out. I have a fairly simple question. I am bringing an empty computer case to Australia for a friend of mine. We are aware of the duty/tax/etc that might be incurred but it was still cheaper to bring it with me than it was to ship it. Right now I have it wrapped in a black trash bag and taped up nicely so the bag is tight to the box. I am wondering if that will work as checked baggage? I didn't want to leave it unwrapped because it was so obvious what it was and I didn't want to risk someone at the luggage carousels or anywhere else taking it. I have a paper with small writing on it describing what is in the box and it has the address I'll be staying at and other information that might be needed. This is also taped to the box. I am uneasy about having that information in plain sight, but figured if I'm going to cover up the box I need to give them the information for it.

I plan to check this as my "third bag" on my AA flights to Melbourne.

Thanks!
