Hi Guys... i am thinking of getting a home theater from dubai.... since a friend is coming over, he will bring it along.. I would like to know if any customs are involved?
Appreciate any help
On every electronic you would have to pay customs ... Once i brought some plants from China,on the Islamabad airport the customs officer called me and asked that wat is this,i told them these are plants,and what he asked again made me laugh,he said are they electronic..? Plants and electric,lol
lol xD
The Islamabad Airport is pathetic when it comes to brining things from abroad and even if you are carrying two laptops they stop you and ask you or even try to get bribe. The so called green channel is just thr for nothing. I have heard the situation is much better in Lahore Airport and Karachi Airport.
My friend brought a Samsung LED 21" last year.... we got some connection in customs, who got it cleared and he gave him 10k privately!!! i asked wat the heck u paid too much he said custom for this LED was amounting to Rs. 35k .... So better check with customs before importing!
for personal use i dont think so they will charge you (e.g 32inch LCD TV), try to come in Mid night flights when they are drunk..
bringing anything for personal use, won't be a problem, my brother brought two laptops, and other electronics from usa, i personally brought golf kit and other things easy visible from UK, no issues !
you need stable electric,, where im in Pakistan, electric goes hourly.
Once we thought of opening a hi end audiophile store but our pakistan s still facing 30 years old problem of unstable electric
Last time my uncle bring 4 Laptops and 10 smarts phones from USA .. no problem at all...
As i said things are better in KHI and Lhr. Few months ago my boss brining two laptops he was asked to pay customs on one of the new laptops he was carrying than he told them to keep the laptop and his lawyer will take it from them and than they returned the laptop.
