Going through Paris airport customs with 5 cell phones

Going through Paris airport customs with 5 cell phones - An Airbus Parked at the Airport

My wife and I are traveling to India from California next month. On our way we are staying in Paris for a week. I bought 3 new cell phones for my family in India, so we are traveling with total 5 phones (3 new ones, in addition to the 2 we currently have).

I know how to deal with customs in India, but what should I expect at Paris airport? Has anybody done this before?



Best Answer

If they are your property and you will not be leaving them in the EU (giving them away, selling them, etc.) then you should be fine.

It's possible that the border officer may question your purposes in France since you have so many phones, but if you have a reasonable explanation, you should be fine. Just be honest.
