2 people 3 laptops through HCMC airport

I am sending a netbook over for my stepson and the couple that will be taking it already will have 1 laptop each (1 as a gift 1 for personal use).. since the duty is 40% and vat is an additional 10% .. that would be 100 usd if we declare it.. how much coffee $ would they try to squeeze out if its not declared and they say something at customs...

Are they Viet Kieu?

I went over just after Christmas in 2008 (my second trip). I had a laptop in my backpack (carry on). I also checked a box full of gifts. All were wrapped in gift wrap. There was a netbook, an iPod, some jewelry, and a couple of new watches. I didn't get dinged for any of them, and I KNOW they opened the box and went through it. They even partially unwrapped the netbook. I'm presuming I got through without problems because my name is obviously not Vietnamese.

they are both viet kieu.. I was thinking that they would carry thiers and check mine in a bag

I went through with 2 laptops in my backpack and nothing was said. Just waived me through.

tell them to put a $10 in the bag just in case. they might waive you by after inspecting and finding nothing of note.

I brought 2 laptops two different times, and neither time did they say anything about them. What I was hit for was all the phones in one bag, if they have your laptop and theirs together, there might be an issue, but if they are in seperate bags there should not be a problem
