    When I get to the States for Xbix what do I tell Customs?

    Do I say I am going to a conference or just say it is a holiday?

    What do they ask......?

    Also do I need to 'clean' my laptop?

    I would be very pissed if I couldnt get in.

    Thanks

    Tell them you are carrying drugs and have a bomb in your suitcase. When they find out you're "just" a pornographer they will be relieved.
    I like pie.

          There was a long thread a few days ago about laptops and clearing customs. I can't remember who started it, sorry.

            I assume your entering under the 'visa waiver' scheme? ie you havnt been pre issued with a visa for work?

            If thats the case, your not allowed to work at all... So if you say your there on biz... CAN OF WORMS!

            When they ask you what your doing just say 'Vacation' (With a southern drawl, and a big cheesy grin) and youll be fine...

                      With the large amount of non US residents attending conventions in Vegas I'm surprised their Chamber of Commerce doesn't have a web page about this. I'm also surprised the xbix people don't either.

                        Yep, that's right. As for 'cleaning' your laptop, its highly unlikely they will even look.. And if they do, there's no law against having porn (for personal use of course) on your own PC... Provided of course its not anything 'extreme' (read CP) but I doubt that would apply to you anyway...

                            "Allahu ackbar" or "death to the Great Satan" will work. Make sure you shout it too so they can hear you clearly.

                                      That could get expensive...

                                      Can you put 'Bribing customs' on expenses?

                                      It must be deductable for tax purpases....

                                          whatever you do , do not say you are going there for ANYTHING related to work..

                                          you are on holidays. or going to a wedding.

                                          get your story straight first.

                                            I have NEVER had a problem telling them either on vacation, visiting friends or attending a convention.

                                            I usually tell them I am going to a convention and then kicking back with some friends ... which is the 100% truth.

                                            Just have the address of where you are staying - hotel included - they are sticklers for that.

                                            And I have been through US Customs more than 25 times in the last 4 years.

                                              well,
                                              plan A: tell them that you are here to "Kill the great Satan" and see what happens....

                                              plan B: tell them your on vacation and dont worry about the laptop, just bring on porn dvd to "give" to the customs people.

                                              plan B worked for my buddy from Canada last week.

                                                I always clean out the lappy .. pack business cards and promo in my suitcase ..and check it .. bring lappy with me .. tell them where i am going .. and with these conventions it is pretty obvious.. Vegas .. to have fun .. Miami to have fun .. if they ask what you do .. just tell them the truth .. "Internet marketing" ..
                                                No sig .. just me
