I didn't have problems with passport control... perhaps it's because I used the services of a "Fast Track" company. As for customs, I had around 97 kilos (like 150+ pounds) of luggage with me, spread over 4 huge suitcases. What's funny though is they didn't ask to scan the 4 suitcases. instead, they opted for my carry-on handbag so off i put my handbag on the scanner then they let me through.
