we had an extra bag and were taken into the back office and asked for proof which we didn't have - make sure you have a letter from the charity - they want a bribe - they asked my husband for US$100 and said if he paid we could go - we refused and told them to keep the clothes and give us a receipt - we then gave the receipt to the orphanage and they picked the goods up at a later date next trip I will pack the clothes into one case and take another case for the both of us. Good luck they are starting to get very cheeky at the airport now
