do i need to declare my gear when travelling OS?

Hey all,

A question for those that have travelled OS with their gear, do we need to declare all items when leaving the country? i know when i went OS a few years ago i didnt declare any of my electrical items (video camera, CD Player, phone, camera) and was not pulled up on it when coming back, what im getting at is if i was to purchase a lens overseas while i am there travel around and use it would i need to even mention anything? therefore not paying duty? I dont want to be caught either way with gear i purchased here or had imported.

Thanks for your feedback
Cheers
Michael
