Arnold Schwarzenegger was stopped for hours by customs at Munich Airport after entering Germany with a luxury watch that was potentially to be auctioned at a charity event. A customs spokesperson said Thursday that the former movie star and California governor was stopped for a routine check after arriving Wednesday. Schwarzenegger was able to leave after about 2½ hours. Goods over the value of 430 euros ($467) that will stay in the European Union have to be declared and where appropriate duty paid on them. German daily Bild first reported on the incident. It reported that the allegedly undeclared watch made by Swiss manufacturer Audemars Piguet was valued at about 20,000 euros.
