If you are bringing Name brand items like gucci or something, you will get hit with taxes if they are brand new. I learned my lesson with my cigars and clothing. I brought unopened boxes of cigars and got hit hard. almost 30%. I bought a pair of Gucci shoes in hawaii and brought them back in the box. Got hit on it. Now here is the work around.

When I bring cigars in, they will stillbe taxed. But if you open the box and smoke one, or hide one, this it shows you have no intent to sell and it is for personal use. this is a 13% taxation I belive. When I buy my shoes and bring them back, I take the shoes out and rub the soles on the ground. This now makes them used. You can not be taxed on this even if it is in the box.
