I wonder if anyone can share their experiences regarding taking audio gear =
in and out of the country.  This would apply to the USA in my case.  Last t=
ime a traveled internationally with all my gear, recorders, parabolic mic, =
zeppelin, etc.  The customs folks abroad and here in the USA gave me somewh=
at of a hard time.  I didn't get charged anything, but I got the sense that=
 I very well could have been charged.  I imagine the completely legit thing=
 I am meant to do is purchase a 'carnet' for my gear which shows an itemize=
d list that gets stamped by customs.  Does anyone who travels with a fair a=
mount of gear have any other technique for passing through customs without =
any issue?  Thanks.

Danny
