going through chinese customs

Question

Hi !! I will be travelling in Beijing next week and I don't understand the process at the customs.Do I have to declare my iphone or sth that i may buy during the layover in Rome(perfumes,souvenirs,ecc)? And when leaving China,do i have to declare what I have bought (laptop,mp3,phone,clothes,bags,etj real/fake).Both entering and leaving I'm thinking of going through the red line just to be sure.Thank you in advance!!

It is regulated that articles worth more than CNY 5,000 of personal use need to be reported to customs when you enter or exit. You are advised to go through red line. Good luck! :)
