Bands crossing the border

Hi all, I've just secured a gig in Swaziland for St Patrick's day.

Anyone got advice regarding how to cross the border with sound equipment without too much hassle?

Thanks,
Dave

swaziland is a doddle to get through , i would not worry too much about it but have a list of what you are taking with you etc....

and dont take yr most expensive kit either.

Edit: remember to take your car ownership papers or a letter of permission from the fiannce house giving you permisstion to go cross border with it.

Yip. Unless u moving a pantechnicon of kit you should have no worries at the border.

A simple list of your gear should suffice. ask them at the ZA border if they can verify this so that you dont get accused of "smuggling" on yr return.

Swaziland border is very "easy" though.
