Checked-baggage problem, help!
Hi there!
I just read that "Baggage carried by transit passengers should consist of no more than necessities for traveling. Luggage for short-term multiple-entry transit passengers' personal use includes a camera, a small video camera, a hand-held camcorder and a laptop, and any articles for individual special needs approved by the customs.".
Does that mean, that I'm not allowed to take my checked-baggage into the city (out of the customs' surveillance zone)? I'm just coming back from a 10 month stay in New Zealand - therefor I'm traveling with two suitcases and I wouldn't say that everything in them is really "necessary for travelling" (i.e. a tent, souvenirs and so on..).
In case I'm not allowed to take them with me, can I just store them somewhere at the airport?
Best regards,
Ole
