I travel to the Philippines annually. Depending upon the airlines - there are limits on the number of batteries that you can carry (8 is the most common limit - unless it has changed in the last few months). They want them in the carry on luggage - I generally carry 4 in my carry on and 4 in my wife's... Korean airlines seems to be the most understanding and lenient - Philippine airlines more picky... Juice I carry in my carry on and checked baggage, but use a Balikbayan box for my bulk quantities... Never had any stolen, but have had it questioned...
