Importing a TV.
« on: May 03, 2012, 18:23:35 PM »
Can I bring in a 19th flat screen TV in my suitcase please and would it incur any duty if I did? The cost of the tv is around £90.
Thanks.

One of the questions asked when flying back from the UK recently with EasyJet was" are there any large electrical items in your hold luggage". You may want to check out the regs.In the past we often brought out bits in our cases without any problem

I've done it too without a hitch. We used a hard case for protection and lots of packing.

Mind you when we took a bike through which when boxed resembles a very large flat screen TV the customs and security came running out of their office so fast! He looked a little disappointed when we showed him what was inside :D
