flir67 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I'm going on a cruise this may and wondering does anybody know the securityrequirements for taking a gps device with me. the us customs site says that all items must be pre-registered at a customs office. before leaving or you will have to pay duty tax on it, if you don't have the orginal reciept. any more suggestions or problems going thorough security for cruises and other countries. I want to use my gps on the trips day trips through the cities. I e-mailed royal carribbean and got no response. thanks in advance Quote
+briansnat Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I'd say its probably no different from taking a GPS on a plane. Quote

+WeightMan Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I had mine on a cruise last year and had no problem. It was packed in my luggage when I went through customs and they did not have me open the suitcase. That is the normal routine going through customs. I have never registered a camera or anything else and never had a problem. The customs people are trained to look for irregularities and if you are reasonable with them they are reasonable with you. If it looks used they will take it as used. If it looks fresh out of the box then they might question it. Be truthful and don't worry about it. Quote
+ncfinn Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Do cruises have rules/regulations that are different from those for other modes of entry? I fly in/out of the US twice a year and have never heard of such a thing. How expensive is your GPSr? You are allowed to buy electronics overseas and bring them into the country without paying duty. I thought the limit was at least $500 dollars. Quote
+R4D4R Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 where is the ship leaving from adn returning to? if they are both US ports of call (Miami, Galveston, Ft Lauderdale, etc) then you shouldnt have any problems in taking one onboard. Quote
