What would happen if I transported 100+ items that a business owns for them
<p>Let's suppose that I am going on a trip and a friend of mine who owns a business asks me to take in my luggage 100+ items such as clothing/tech. He sold these items in the country I am travelling to, can I deliver these for my friend?</p>
<ul>
<li>Is it illegal?</li>
<li>Would I get the items taken way?</li>
<li>Or would I be taxed in some way?</li>
</ul>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>A more specific example my friend in China sells 100 laptops and asks me to take 10 of those to America so the customer can recieve them should I pay a VAT duty tax or something of the sort if the sale has already been made.</p>
<p>What is instead of 10 I transported the 100 laptops</p>

<p>In general, items that are of value must be declared at customs when bringing them into a country, particularly items being brought in for sale or delivered after a sale. Failure to declare such items is a crime in many countries. Exactly what must be declared varies.</p>
<p>If items are declared there is likely to be an import tax depending on the items, their value, and the laws o the destination country.</p>
<p>If they are not declared and this is discovered, there may be fines and penalties, and possibly jail time or prison. The imported items may be seized. Again the laws of the destination country will control all this.</p>
