They have a lot more to worry about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its not brand new and in the box its clear its for personal use and you wont need to pay taxes. If you bring a boatload of those things, all brand new and in closed original packaging, you will need to pay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't come across it recently, but airport security may want it switched on which might be hard to demonstrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pseudorabies Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I brought in a motherboard with attached memory, processor, M2 SSD's together with a vid card and PSU. All in my carry-on luggage. No problems at all. This was end of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Peter Denis Posted November 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2020 The X-Ray machines are no problem, unless they use the newest generation XXX-Ray machines. These will automatically erase all XXX-content from your drive, leaving you with 'little at hand' during your 15-days in quarantaine. ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's B20, do you think that the OP thought that would count as being heavily taxed?... "Is this classed as a computer, or will i be heavily taxed for it?"
