Question

I buy burqas from south africa to sell it back in my country. Not in a shop but personally. Now the law at the airport in my country is that if we bring any types of items for sale we should declare it and pay a tax on it (if they allow us to take it back from them). If i do not declare as such and sell them will the income that i will receive halaal?

Answer

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
