That said they said there is no duty on electronics (0%), so no forms or inspections. They collected the slip and just directed me to the exit.
Is this still true? I am abroad and bought a piece of electronics since the one I brought with me broke. Am I supposed to declare the one I bought? It appears so. But I am GE - so I guess I have to wait in line now, yes? Only to be told at customs... there is no duty on electronics?
