(Sorry, I'm a nerd :S) They're all used and in used condition, and I have all the original receipts for them. My question is, do I need to declare all of this stuff? Is it going to cause me headaches at customs? And if so, am I better off just not taking so much stuff? (Ahhh, I really would like to take all of my gear with me :) ) Thanks a lot!

GUEST45632	I suggest you declare all your electronics at the customs. According to the customs, passengers are allowed to bring some articles for personal use. I have heard that one person can only bring one camera and one laptop. You bring too many electronics into China. Thus, I suggest you declare all your stuff and tell the customs that they are all for personal use.
