How does your personal experience with carrying new electronics into the country apply to broader supply chain difficulties? You don’t have to “grease a palm or two” to carry new electronics into the country if you are willing to pay the lawful customs duty / tax.

As you cast aspersions on others who might be corrupt, please think about your collusion / readiness to bribe and what that says about yourself.

If you are within customs rules, you don't have to pay anything. Else pay the right duty based on the original invoice you should be carrying with you. I have taken TVs, laptops, iPhones, game consoles and have never been bothered by customs.

Not sure how this could apply to Apple. They’re ruthless in their supply chain costs and tolerances.
