Something to declare?


Because many Christmas gifts are bought abroad, the customs office launched a campaign called "Something to declare?" at Schiphol airport. Travellers are called to account for the fact that certain goods can not be imported, or that import duties have to be paid.

On the baggage bands of Schiphol are exclusive gift packages with names of foreign, illegal gift shops. Complete with logo and slogan. It looks real, but if you think about the shop names and the message that reads: 'Something to declare? Please go to the red channel', you know immediately that it is not real.

Autobahn made these designs in collaboration with Indie: a wooden turtle case of The Last 1500.com, a coral box of Limited Treasures, a coat protector of Cindy's Furshop Costa Rica and a elephant tusk of Ivory Desires.
