I paid a bribe to customs officer for clearing my used clothes.
His problem was that the clothes were booked in un-accompanied cargo in my wife's name and it contained men's clothes
So he was charging an exorbidant duty saying why does a lady bring men's clothes. The money was conveniently collected in the cabin without any fear amongst other officers present.
We had no choice because we could not travel up and down the airport, so just decided to take the shortcut and get ourself out of the mess.
But as you know, thats how it works.
