KOMPAS.com - A famous Israeli export is in trouble for her import. Supermodel Bar Refaeli was caught at Tel Aviv's international airport this week trying to bring in her newly purchased iPad without declaring it at customs. Items brought into Israel worth more than around $US200 ($226) are subject to duties.
Refaeli told Israel's Channel 10 TV that she had an iPad in a suitcase that was lost in transit. She said she didn't declare the iPad upon entrance to Israel for a brief commercial appearance.
She is now required to pay 650 shekels ($190) in taxes and fines to get it back. Israel earlier banned imports of the popular tablet computer.
It lifted the lifted two weeks ago. The restrictions were initially imposed over concerns the Apple gadget's wireless signal could disrupt other Wi-Fi devices.
