Who reputedly told a customs officer: "I have nothing to declare except my genius"?

The quote is reputedly attributed to the Irish playwright and poet Oscar Wilde. He supposedly made the remark to a U.S. customs officer upon his arrival in New York in 1882 for an American lecture tour. 
While it is one of his most famous one-liners, historians and literary scholars note that there is no primary source or contemporary press evidence that he actually said it. It first appeared in print many years later, though it perfectly captures his flamboyant, self-confident public persona.
