For instance a Digital camera, ps3, laptop and such

Yes, If you steal it.

 

[sari-manok]

for personal use, no restrictions but if you bring them in commercial quantities, you need some documentation.

 

[clncarplz]

No. Just say for personal use.
ps. be careful with the laptop as that is top item for snatch & grab thieves.
