<div>Have any of the other US folks been told that, in order to avoid paying duty on personal computer, iPad, etc., one has to have a letter that itemizes the equipment, states it's for personal use, and bears a State Department stamp? When I asked if the
State Department stamp meant apostille, the person at the Senegalese Embassy didn't know. Before I go (or, more accurately, my assistant goes) chasing this down to find out exactly what is needed, I thought I'd check to see if someone else has.</div>

<div>Anyone?</div>
