My wife will be celebrating her birthday on my next visit in March and has asked for a new Iphone which I will purchase in HKG during my transit there.

I have always been the 'good' traveller to Indonesia and no excesses of Duty Free Allowances. Does anybody have any experience, good or bad, of arriving with new electronics and being questioned by Customs due to the value exceeding $250?

Another quick question. How are they about bringing 2 litres of alcohol in to the country? Wife has asked for a bottle of Baileys and I am partial to a wee Whisky now and again and I know that it is difficult and expensive to source the real stuff.

Thanks for any advice and insight in advance.

Safe & Happy Travels
