" We will be moving to Saudi next month. I do not like the idea that my CDs, tapes and videos could get confiscated. I have nothing pornographic or violent. How do I get these items in the country without customs bothering them? "

" The best bet is to take them with you in your luggage instead of shipping them with a household shipment. This is because when you go through the airport with them you will see the customs officials face-to-face and they are reluctant to cause too many problems when you are there in person. When arriving at the airport, dress conservatively, act polite, and you should have no problems. They might briefly take these items to a screening room at the airport, but as long as there is nothing objectionable, you should have no problems. Dave "

" We moved ot Riyadh about 5 months ago. Since then I have made about 3 trips in and out of Riyadh going to the US. My CD collection was questioned only once and briefly. Nothing was taken from me. A good tip would be to have your portable CD player on hand when going through customs. That way you can show them on the spot what is on a particular CD and they will have no reason to confiscate them. Feel free to write to the above e-mail address if you have any questions or concerns. Customs is not nearly as scary as you may have heard. Good Luck, Cara "
