I tend to rely on the Carnet as it is accepted by not only US Customs but also international customs. <BR/><BR/>My worry is more about entering a foreign nation than returning home to the U.S. <BR/><BR/>For those that would like to explore the option of using US Customs Form # 4457, you may do so at the URL below: <BR/>http://USDHSCF4457.notlong.com <BR/><BR/>Happy Flyingflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-62539841860894830732008-01-31T05:22:00.000-08:002008-01-31T05:22:00.000-08:00Hi Fish,1.

You list your stuff and show it to a customs officer and you then have your stuff validated for re-entry into the U.S. Admittedly, this won't help for customs entry into another country, but useful and easy nonetheless. Here's a link with more info:<BR/>[http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/clearing_goods/certificate_of_registration.xml]<BR/>And a TinyURL if that breaks:<BR/>[http://tinyurl.com/yuens8]<BR/><BR/>2. Brother makes tapes in bright colors so you can get a twofer...label and bright ID tape in one step. I'm using black on yellow. There's black on orange, black on red, black on silver, etc.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Rick WallaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-18661558997020927262008-01-25T08:32:00.000-08:002008-01-25T08:32:00.000-08:00YongAll of my equipment, from bodies to batteries ...Yong<BR/><BR/>All of my equipment, from bodies to batteries and lenses to CF cards, are labeled with white laminated tape from Brother. I use a Brother P-Touch label maker, with TZ Tape which is durable and doesn't leave a lot of residue when you remove the labels. <BR/><BR/>The pink tape on my gear is vinyl tape, with duct tape on the base of the 1D bodies. I also use Gaffers Tape which does not leave a lot of residue on anything. A great place to look for tape is Tape Brothers, www.tapebrothers.com <BR/><BR/>Happy Flying!<BR/><BR/>-Fishflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-80127987417214072662008-01-25T08:26:00.000-08:002008-01-25T08:26:00.000-08:00Thanks for the informative post, it will be useful...Thanks for the informative post, it will be useful in the near future :)<BR/><BR/>Are you using duct tape and printed labels on your gear?
