I always say that I am a visitor because I am a permanent resident of Cyprus now. I do this because if the IRS ever gets a hold of the form (who knows these days?) there will be no confusion over what country I am a resident of. It never occurred to me to be concerned about the customs aspect of the matter because I never have more than $100 worth of items that I am bringing into the US (gifts for family).
