Macbook Pro and airport screening

Question

macbook

Hello!

The situation is as follows, a person flies from Europe with a new packaged (never unpacked) Macbook Pro (also, he has his old netbook with him).

Interested in the question: will there be any problems during the inspection, since the laptop is new? customs duty and so on. Can I bring it as a "gift" to a friend?

Have you faced a similar situation?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Nothing will happen. Let her take the invoice with which she bought them.
Next, he will fill out a customs declaration, such as: “a used laptop, the cost is $ 550”, for example. And that's it :) There shouldn't be any problems. The main thing is not to exceed the cost of 65,000 Russian greens.

Answer 2

There will definitely not be problems with the MacBook, it was checked several times in practice.
By the way, as a gift to a friend - you can definitely bring it, you can still, as advised on the forums,
throw out the box and save the documents, which I would never have done in my life.

Answer 3

Don't be afraid of anything. In which case, I would say that I bought it in general in another country, what is the probability that they will check? And in general, with a probability of 99% they won’t tell you anything, take it and don’t be afraid)

Answer 4

Moreover: when buying a device, pay attention to the sign in the TaxFree store. And buy where it is.
When buying, be sure to ask for this same TaxFree.
Upon returning to the Russian Federation, you can return up to 20% of the cost of the device. This, as I understand it, is the local VAT, which we (non-EU members) are not required to pay. He returns with no problem.

Answer 5

Restriction on duty-free import up to 50,000 thousand rubles, if you fit in, then take it.

Answer 6

Sign transported iMac and iPad packed from the USA. Passed customs through the green corridor

Answer 7

Customs officers are not fools and are quite aware of how much a MacBook of a particular configuration costs.
If its real value is more than 50 thousand, pay 30% of the amount for exceeding the limit, i.e. at a cost of 60 thousand, pay 30% of 10 thousand. Then enjoy your beech, and do not sweat from thoughts about confiscation.

Answer 8

Don't worry, everything will be ok.
If you go out through the green corridor, then no one even inspects you and you can carry whatever your heart desires there.
You can bring a laptop with you, and send the box by mail.

Answer 9

A couple of years ago they brought 2 new laptops. Customs officers were interested in whether we were transporting for sale. They told them that it was a gift to relatives and there were no complaints against us.
