Bought a laptop in the usa and want to bring it back to my home country?
i bought a laptop for 350 dollars in the usa. 375 with tax. Soon i return back to the netherlands. Do you think they will stop me in the air port and ask me if i bought it here on my visit, if so will they tax me. I heard if its under 500 dollars it is ok and wont tax me..

Answer 1 :
i honestly dont know why but companies have to versions one for the US and one for the UK and i have noticed that the UK dosent get as many choices as the US people do
Answer 2 :
Check the warranty including return to base will still apply if you buy from the US and use in UK Check that the physical keyboard is UK configuration ( does it have a Euro key?) Consider wisely if the goods haveto be returned to the US ( cost 5kg courier to US) Expect to get caught for import duty (c17.5% over Â£40) and couriers handling charges for the custom charge ( fixed charges from Â£15 upwards) ... these are non-negociable initially as you will not get posession of the goods without paying the full price including the extra handling/customs
