Customs in Frankfurt Airport - Question from international student
I am a Vietnamese student, studying in Belgium. This summer, when travelling back from Vietnam to Belgium, I am gonna land at Frankfurt Airport. There are some question regarding customs at the airport I hope you guys can help me answer it.
For context, my plan of travel is packing my luggage case (include clothes, 5 badminton rackets and 3 pairs of shoes), a box of dry food (instant noodles), and a box of of badminton shuttles.
1. How can I prove that my 5 rackets and 3 shoes are personally owned and already used, so that it doesn't count toward the 430 EUR limit ? (I have bought them years before, but have decided to not carry them when first travel to Belgium. Now, I wanna bring them with me)
2. For the box of food and shuttles, how can I prove that the combine value is under 430 EUR? Can I show the receipt (in Vietnamese) at the airport ? (I miss Vietnam instant noodle, that why I bring quite a bit of it. For the shuttles, I will buy much for personally use as the price different are nearly tripled. The combined value of the 2 is about 420 EUR)
3. Generally, how strict will the officers are ? Will they ask me about every bit and piece of things I bring with me, or they will be empathy and let me go quickly if I declare clear what I have bought and bring from Vietnam ? Will the quantity of unit be a problem, or they will just look at the total value ? #local source
