It totally depends on who you get..I have had the most pleasant experiences and the most annoying. Yesterday we got to customs and we had put on our form that we had a framed , used, photograph and was a gift to us from the phtographer. We said it had hung on our wall in Ca and would now go on the wall at CRC. Without any explanation the stern, unsmiling "lady" officer told us we had to pay $17 duty..without seeing the pic or anything. When I questioned her her only answer, she kept repeating is " It still has value". We waited in line 10 mins with C on her walker to pay the $17. Welcome home! The good news we ran right into AC ( Arnold) outside and with a couple of cold beers were on our way home..Hoping the Gov checks TTOL to her these things because they are very bad way to give " a good first impression"..Mind you I had much worse in St Martin!
