Anyone ever ordered a laptop from the US and not had to pay duty?

    Laptop here - 535 euros is about the lowest I can get it for

    However in the US i see it for 485 dollars which is about 364 euros (of course) and about 50 euros for postage

    If I get them to mark it as a gift would it work for sure, or... would I prob get hit with some hideous stamp/tax duty?

    Tbh I don't order them from Ireland/UK at all for the simple plug reason :)

    but I have ordered the parts. and they will come with a bill if you order anything on the bog standard postal services (ups). However, you don't have to pay extra, if it's a courier service such as DHL.

    I am never 100%, so I am sure some guy will say that I am wrong. :)

    I know I ordered the Asus 1215N from amazon.co.uk (only place around who has it, plus free delivery) Euro 530. When I could have gotten it from the US and saved me like Euro 150 (plus get the USB 3.0 and bluetooth 3.0) - but I wanted it NOW >_<!

    You can't ask how for advice on how to avoid tax on boards.
