Duties on imported projectors

Hello I posted a similar questiom in taxation but may be incorrect forum. Basically I imported a number of projectors from China in 2017 shipped by Fedex. In the past I was told by a revenue official that they aren’t liable to import duties . However Fedex are saying they are. The projectors are like these

Would anyone know from experience if these type of projectors are liable to imports duties? Thanks

Of course they are.

Depending on tariff code the duty on them could be quite low.

VAT on the other hand will be very much due and significant.

The vat has beeen applied at the normal rate of 23%. Duties are being charged at 14%. I’m having trouble finding the correct tariff code those type of projections would fall under

I’d look on adverts.ie or amazon.co.uk

Slightly more expensive but you’ll still get something reasonably cheap plus a lot of these guys can offer warranties as they get them in, in bulk.
Buying direct from China, if you have problems, probably no chance of returning and even if there is, cost you a fortune.
