im shortly going dalaman with easy jet and have 32kg allowance between 2 of us as i booked it last year and got this generous allowance . im thinking about taking a 32" lcd tv . i think it will have to go to the check in where the golf clubs etc go . will it be weighed as part of my 32kg and if it will and im over 32 kg does anyone know howmuch per kg i will have to pay and will i have a tax to pay at dalaman . thanks

you will more than likely find that the amount of tax you will have to pay on the tv will be more than its worth to you. you can get one here from 600tl.

Hi Patch
On our last visit we were going to bring over a TV but when we checked out the cost and the chances of having to pay duty we decided against it and bought one in Turkey.
The additional cost of purchase out weighted the balance of the worry.
There are plenty of places in Fethiye you can buy an LCD 32" TV.You
can buy one for approx £300 in Kippa(tesco's)
good luck :)

Also it can be real hassle if you arrive during the night, you may find you have to return to Dalaman the following day to pay the duty & collect your TV
-
the tv isnt costing me anything . so what would be the duty costs ? and whats the chance of getting stopped at dalaman as when weve been before there doesnt seem to be many if any at customs ? thanks
-
My Newphew was stopped and the TV confiscated.He then picked it up on the return journey,and this happened 3 times,so now he has bought over here.I have been told they do look out for packages that could have TV,s in them and stop those people.
-
Dalaman customs look for obvious items being brought in, eg large boxes.
Will it fit inside a suitcase? A few people have taken them this way.
I've no idea how much the tax is, but it's supposed to be high.
-
Excess bagauge is supposed to be 1% of the first class ticket cost per Kilo.
-
cant find a suitcase big enough . @ milliemars . why was the tv confiscated ? is it because he wouldnt pay the duty ? also is it just the banderole tax i would have to pay as i think this is 100 euro . thanks
-
I will find out I think it was that the duty was to much.As for the excess baggage if you look on easyjet,s site they will say what the excess is per kilo.
-
have decided not to bother as the tax has to be paid every year for 3 years , so definatly not worth it . thanks
-
Tax which is called bandrola tax is based on the size of your screen and not the value. You looking at a maximum of 150 Euro or less.
-
yes but this banderole tax has to be payey annually for 3years ( it used to be 5 years) . so wont be worth it . thanks
-
Since when has this started? I have paid once for my plasma back in 2002 and not anymore since. Not sure where you get this info from. Bandrola tax is a one off payment. If customs catch you bringing in the TV then you have to pay it or leave it behind. There is no annual payment afterwards. Never has been.
-
i think it is only paid once , but someone on the turkish living forum says they have paid it for 3 years , but thats not so according to this link

You pay it once - it depends on the size of the screen - about 150 euros I think for 32 inches :-)
