Pros and Cons of buying I-Pad in China

I'm curious whether customs officers will be able to tell if I bought a tablet from overseas if I open it and claim I bought it from the UK

Customs Officers are used to this ploy and it seldom works serial no's etc

Doubt you'll find one that's too interested. Anyway, if the OP paid more than their allowance they didn't get a bargain.;)

Are you sure they're cheaper??? My son went on a school exchange to China a couple of years back, and when the Chinese students visited us at least half of them bought iPads here because they were cheaper than at home. Have things changed?

Conversion makes a 16Gb iPad £278 and an iPad air £345..If my conversion is right..
So not a massive saving, but still a saving. More importantly well within customs allowance...
