Re: Laptop Prices In Sri Lanka Duty Free
Joao Charlesbois
Does anyone have up-to-date information regarding top of the range electronic goods in (ta && ta.queueForLoad ? ta.queueForLoad : function(f, g)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', f);)(function()ta.trackEventOnPage('postLinkInline', 'impression', 'postLinks-30581823', '');, 'log_autolink_impression');Sri Lanka? I would like to purchase either a laptop, or an ipad or an iphone, at a duty-free shop, either in Colombo or at the airport. Could anyone tell me which shops are best for such goods?
I am in the market for a laptop and one of my friends volunteered to ship it for me through fedex. I am wondering if anyone has experience importing a personal laptop to sri lanka and clearing it from customs?
In some cases other levies are payable on imported goods, for instance agricultural levies on agricultural products or anti-dumping duty on industrial products. These levies are intended to prevent products coming onto the European market at exceptionally low prices.
Prices at duty-free shops are typically lower than prices outside of the duty free area, but shoppers need to be savvy to ensure they are entitled to a reduction and get the best deal. As with any shop or mall, some airports have better duty-free shopping than others, so be sure to read our guide to the best airports for shopping to be able to plan your travels around the airport shops.
Duty-Free is a term used to describe purchasing products without the inclusion of fees such as duty and tax. These discount prices are only available to passengers travelling outside the European Union, and not within the EU. Duty-free items usually include items such as spirits, cigarettes, cigars and tobacco.
Laptops can still be purchased online from overseas, the government clarified; however, when these are imported by individual buyers, the import duty and shipping fees may make this an expensive prospect, as tax may also have to be paid in the country from where the laptop is purchased. Devices imported for research and development, and those repaired abroad, are exempt from these restrictions.
