Buy smartphone in US while visiting, fees in Europe
If I buy a smartphone ~700 USD from New York while travelling and come back to Greece, will there be fees while entering the country? The same phone costs about 1000 USD in Greece i am guessing from Customs.
Will there be some kind of check in the Customs? Is there a specific amount of devices i can bring in the country(i might need 2)?
Will i have to declare what i bought in the US?
