    hi,

    a friend of mine wants to send me some of his second hand electrical items from the states worth about 1400$ as a gift, would I have to pay customs, import and duty on this ?

    thanks

    Yes, you will have to pay VAT at least, and possibly customs duty as well, depending on what the item is (many electronic items like laptops and mobile phones have no customs duty tariff). VAT will likely be 23% of the market value of the item. How you'll pay depends on how he ships it, but most couriers (including An Post) will pay the duty and VAT owed on your behalf (if any) and then collect the amount owed from you (along with an extra service fee) before releasing the parcel to you.
