Crossing borders with xl1 video kit

from Aslan Livingstone-Ra (aslanlivingstone@hotmail.com)
i'm shooting a documentary in Africa which will require me to cross quite a few borders. Is there anyone out there who can offer any hints/tips about avoiding trouble regarding my equiptment? I will be a one-man band so hopefully the border controls won't see me as a production unit and attempt to charge any duty or import fees. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.

My kit will include XL1, 3x lens, tripod, glidecam, k6 mic kit, remote mic kit, small light, reflector, about 40+ mini DV tapes, and other assorted paraphanelia. (may be a problem passing for your average bovine tourist...may also be a problem carrying it all)

many thanks in anticipation.
