Anyone come through PNH airport with a mountain bike new or used and experienced any problems clearing customs. ie being asked to pay duty ?
Never been stopped before for anything but have never tried with a bicycle.
Cheers

I took a new one through a few years back still boxed, it was $1000 bike so I wasn't keen on being stopped. I loaded the massive box on the trolley and attempted to calmly walk it though the nothing to declare section but the box was too wide for the lane and hit against one of those tables where they riffle through your stuff. The customs guy picked up one end of the box above the table height so I was able to push it through and escape scot-free.

I flew into Siem Reap with a $6,000 road bike in a box last year. No one said a word.
So I dont imagine you will have problems.
