Does anyone know if I can bring back my flower bouquet to the states?

Hello, I am Brittany new to this thread and have to say that this thread is amazing!! My fiance and I have booked our wedding at the NOW Jade for 5/2/14 (I know I am really early!) I am just looking to get a early head start on my wedding planning and get as many questions answered as possible without having to email the busy wedding planners. We had a couple of questions about the airport and travel. The thread reads: Airport & Travel Read the customs form carefully. We got detained for two hours and fined for not declaring our wedding party gifts (Burberry sunglasses). You are allowed to bring in $300 per person of goods not for personal use (this includes all gifts, all OOT bag contents, etc). If we could do it again, we would give our wedding party their gifts before we left. Question - How bad were the fines for not declaring your items? Do you think it would be best to send the OOT bags down via mail to avoid the costs? If you are bringing in stuff you will have to pay taxes on, make sure you have the receipts! Question - Does this include decor/centerpiece items that we bring? Much of this stuff we have already purchased or were gifts and do not have the receipts, what happens if you don't have the receipts? Again thanks for the information and anything that I can add as far as information I will be sure to add!!
