Buying a macbook pro from the US?

Dagon · 2008-07-27 00:23:39

Just wondering how much I will be charged in customs on a macbook pro that I paid $2000 for (which is proably rated as being worth 3000 over here)?

As per sticky but I'd say around 30ish percent (freight is also included in the VAT calculations).

Thanks mate...

I've read some of the sticky, and would I be right in saying it's 30% of the price that I paid for the product?

So they add 30% of the price in dollars?

Are there any cases where they just go on the price that would be charged in ireland? i.e. for macbook pro in ireland, could be up to 2500 or 3000 in dollars.

The current revisions are coming to the end of the cycle, unless you need one right now, it could be worth waiting for whatever is released around September...

Could be worth waiting, but I don't know if the spec will have changed very much. DO you know the release date?

Generally the releases have been around 180 days or so, and we're now at 150ish - probably best to keep an eye on http://www.macrumors.com/
