Ok guys and girls, here is a trick to bringing in anything you want in the country without the hassle of the custom officers. I just went through santiago airport customs yesterday with Missing_DR. No I was not traveling but I managed to get inside passed customs to receive my friend. He had brought a DVD player for me from mexico and a digital camera etc. I was afraid he would end up paying the duties as they open up almost all the suitcases on incoming people. Unfortunately my contact (a very low level) got called on other duties and couldn't really accompany us to the check out place instead he told us to have 5 dollars (US) ready in hand and simply hand it over to the agent. My friend didn't have 5 but 10 dollars. It was a piece of cake. You walk up. They try to open up your suitcase and you simply say, "mira" and show your hand with the green bill rolled inside. they simply take it and send you off. They won't waste your time or their own. Time is money and each agent tries to get as many people as they possibly can. Just imagine how much money these agents make in dollars / day?
