Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

There has been a lot of news in the papers about Airport Customs being very strict on fake goods and counterfeit,
searching and confiscating and fineing . Has anybody had Trouble at Manchester or Dalaman?

Just returned at the weekend and had no trouble at either Dalaman or Newcastle this end. Had the usual t-shirts,jeans and jewellery but did not get stopped.

nope haven't encountered anything like this

just returned myself loads of stuff i think its for the fashion houses in italy they bwill leave turkey spain etc along..

returned last thursday night into aberdeen
had no problems leaving dalaman
and none is aberdeen which can be quite bad sometimes

dont wanna annoy anyone with the word im gonna use -

my cousin works at heathrow customs and he says the world off his bosses is search uhmm those that look like chavs/neds - not my word - there under order to leave most people alone unless they look like the sort of folk who would be into fake gear...

If the odd item is seen to be in personel use it is not worth the bother but if you turn up with 100 x £10 Rolex Watches that could be a different matter.

do you think they will actually start taking our fakes off of us ?

Came back early hours of 1st sep through Manchester not a customs officer in sight

It is usually like that at Newcastle hardly ever see anyone but you always have that feeling that there are eyes watching you as you go through.

Anyway, how would they know it's a fake

Sue who I work with could spot a fake at 100 paces, but I bet the rest of us couldn't

Oh, except for football shirts (Bargain for a genuine fake in Turkey), I can spot the fake ones of these, and it isn't hard if you know what to look for
