Will you have to pay customs if you carry on two (2) laptops on an international flight?
I will be traveling this week from the US to the Philippines and transit Hongkong. Do you think customs will charge me for bringing two laptops? They are both used and are open in their boxes. Thank you for your time for sharing your experience and knowledge. If you can add a proper source that would be great!

you pay customs on things you Buy in other Countries and bring back into the usa not what you Bring in from your home- depends on what it is and the value-there is usually a certain value you can import for free https://help.cbp.gov/

It depends on whether you declare them for personal use or as a gift. Most likely you won't even be asked about them. Some countries may ask you to fill out a form saying they are for personal use and you better have them when you leave the country or you will be required to pay duty on them. You won't have a problem in Hong Kong if you stay within the transit area and do not clear customs. I travel frequently with two laptops and have never had a problem, nor have I been questioned about them. If they do ask you in the Philippines, tell them they are for personal use. If they ask you to fill out a form, you better have it with you when you leave or be prepared to pay duty
