Personal-use camera equipment (up to 2 bodies + 4-5 lenses + tripod + accessories) enters duty-free. Green channel, no declaration needed for typical enthusiast/pro kits. For expensive kit (>USD 3000), some travelers photograph the setup with a home newspaper — proof of ownership if questioned.

For commercial productions (film crews, ad shoots), specific permits required and customs may bond equipment. For solo pros doing personal shoots, no bond needed. Bring receipts if paranoid but rarely requested.
