No problem yan. Just make sure hindi ka lumampas ng 50lbs kung icheck in mo.

This is true w/ OFWs. On my previous vacations, I have brought things like Home Theater Ampli, Speakers, Dell Comp, & DVD players. And I have declared all these things in this disembarkation form.
The Customs says you can bring electronics, tax free as long as it is one of a kind (one unit only), meaning if you're bringing in 3 stereo ampli's, the 1st unit is tax free but the 2 units will be subjected to duties.

i onced hand carried a CPU and a car amplifier from the states... i have never once declared anything whenever i travel ... my style is whenever checkin out thru customs is .. CO : " sir ano po laman ng bagahe?" ME:" maduduming damit saka maniglan ngilang tsokolate para sa nanay ko " with a look that says " U ain't gettin nothin from me buddy " hehehe.... so yeah im pretty sure you won't get taxed.
Methinks the Battle of Carthage scene in Russel Crowe's Gladiator (yr. 2000) is a homage to that...
