You will be charged "Duty" at customs.

Answer 2

Ive done it a billion times for tournaments around australia i.e sydney to melbourne flights etc. put it in the bags which ur not carry on the flight cause they dont really check tht stuff, trust me!!! and if they do ask u then they just pop a pin in it, ive never got caught going through australian customs, ive done it bout 6 times by myself and so has the rest of team who flies down wit me 2 places :)

Yeah bring it in mate. I brought one back.. a gift I received in Italy and there's no prob. They are unlikely to charge duty on it either. Just bring it. It will take up a fair bit of space though... I probably wouldn't choose to buy one just because of that, but if you have room, you've got no worries at all.

Wish I was in China!!!! My bro works there and I can't wait to visit.
