Topic: May tax ba sa airport ang 40inch and above LCD/plasma?

[johnrider999]

Im planning to have my vacation nxt month at gusto ko magdala ng 46inch lcd at isabay ko pag-uwi. Sabi kasi ng iba wala naman daw bayad if you are OFW. Kindly share po if u have experienced. Marami din kasing crocodile sa airport sa pinas baka madali pa ako

AFAIK, pag OFW may limit sa screen size, parang up to 32-inches lang ata. Then the OFW must also be away from the country for at least 8 months (ata) to qualify for exemption. The best is to confirm with the customs office para di ka ma-hassle ng mga crocodiles pagbalik mo.

To simplify, kung susundin talaga ang current Customs regulations, dapat lahat taxed dahil yung lintek na limit na 10,000 pesoss ay practically meaningless kung electronic items ang pinag-uusapan.  It should be 1,000-2,000 dollars man lang sana para interesting.

Pero kung OFW, maraming unofficial leverage ang naibibigay, kaya nagkakaroon ng misunderstanding na "libre" kapag OFW.

[frootloops]

pag may sundo kahit 50" pa yan libre!

kailan kaya huling na revised yang Customs regulations na yan? Cguro nung panahon pa ng mga Saudi boys dati around mid-80's ay malaki pa ung 10,000 pero ngayon maski Ipod touch nga lang ay kulang na yang 10k..

Talaga Godfather?  hehehe

[audiojunkie]

ayos yan brader Donnel...

pero airport of your departure meron din limitations for accompanying luggages. baka yung 50" 'di magkasya sa luggage trolley tube at lalong di pwede hand carry... 

AFAIK, only 32" ang pwede... 

better send it by door-to-door along with your other pasalubong... minimal lang ang tax sa mga cargo forwarders at wala ka pa hazzle, just make sure that you send them thru reliable company.

True,...

i can confirm pede po sa NAIA up to 42" panel, nakapaguwi na ako ng 3 pcs plasmas in separate instances  ,

airlines usually accommodate up to 30kgs per each item na i che checkin mo, that's the reason why up to 42" lang ang naiuuwi ko, unless may 50" na less than 30kgs paguwi ko ng pinas ulit papayagan naman.

iwas lang po duon sa customs sa NAIA na matandang babae na nakasalamin, one time ayaw akong palagpasin dahil malaki daw yung tv ko, ayun binigyan ko ng 200pesos pinayagan naman

[renan_cme]

Wala pong problem yan pag ginamit dito sa pinakamamahal nating Pilipinas kung voltage at frequency ang pinaguusapan.
Ang Meralco natin ay 60 Hz line frequency at ang sa Europe naman ay 50 Hz at walang problem kasi ho SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY ang nasa loob ng TV nyo at same operating voltage pa ang rating ng TV nyo ng sa Pilipinas.

May malaking issue ho if we are talking of TV standard. Dapat ho ay NTSC 3.58 MHz capable ang TV at hindi lang PAL/SECAM. Otherwise, useless yan sa TV standard/system ng ating mahal na bansa unless gagamitin nyong source (Bluray, DVD, movie files, media player, etc.) ay galing din sa Europe.

salamat sir. Kailan yung huling dala mo ng plasma mo sa pinas? mabuti ang dami mo ng naiuwi na tv sir . Ok naman lahat yung naiuwi mo sir? Medyo nakakatakot din kasi baka mapatungan ng ibang bagahe si flat tv hehe. Pero gusto ko pa rin subukan. Iwasan ko na lang yung babae na sinasabi mo na nakasalamin. Do u need to prove to them that you are OFW? Thanks for sharing sir.

[ivo]

sir, advice lang from another OFW, have it shipped via sea freight instead of taking it with you. its guaranteed tax free and safe, but always pay for insurance just in case.

you may be able to avoid paying taxes but I'm not sure how safe your plasma would be. baka hindi ingatan ng mga nagbubuhat sa airlines, sayang naman kung masisira ang plasma mo.

[johnrider999]

guys, salamat sa mga advise nyo 

[HDFanatic]

sir last year lang din po ako naguwi ng 42", August and December.   ok naman lahat...

[raider125jeigh]

Sir a 46" LED Bravia EX700 is about 69k, and a 40" NX710 is about 80k (comes with a blu-ray player and some 3D goodies), Onkyo receivers and HTIBs marami dito sa ME... no idea about the price diff but when I bought my 606 18 months ago it was about 16-17k.

You're welcome sir. Not sure kung meron 37" LEDs kasi ang nakikita ko rito is 32", 40", 46", and yung mga 50" and above. For shipping costs via sea freight factor in an additional 4k sa total cost nung TV.

[fireice2]

Kung mga gadgets ipapasok nyo, di na yan mapag-initan ng mga asungot sa airport as long as ipalabas nyo na used. Wag nyo na uwi ang mga boxes para di kayo matarget. hehehe

Nung galing ako SG, madami sa kasabayan kong noypi naguwi ng mga 40-55" tv's. di naman sila hinarang sa customs. diretso naman sila.

[DonT]

Before I bought my Flat Screen..I compared prices from the middle east and local stores...I ended up buying locally...mas mura kasi. You only need to know where. 

[johnrider999]

Pasok ang 42inch plasma ko. Wala na palang problema. Sinabi ko lang na OFW pagdating dun sa custom na nagchicheck nung custom form. Paglabas ko sa custom area nagtanong pa yung isa parak kung ano yung laman ng box ko kahit halata naman na plasma coz its in the original box pa . I told him flat tv at sagot nya ''sir baka may pangkape ka dyan'' hehe! Sinabihan ko lang sya ng mamaya at deretso ako labas 
May mga dents lang sa box kaya sinubukan ko kaagad pagdating. Ok naman lahat at it works perfectly!
Ang laki ng price difference when i checked it sa mall d2 sa pinas. Nakamura pa rin ako.

Kapag sinaksak mo ang 50 hz sa 60 hz source, gagana naman siya. yun nga lang kapag strictly 50 hz siya iinit siya after several minutes. kapag di naman siya umiinit, ibig sabihin, compatible siya sa 60 hz. but then again kung ikaw ang manufacturer ng TV, at ang binebenta mong TV ay compatible din sa ibang systems, in this case sa 60 hz, bakit hindi mo ilagay na 50/60 hz di ba? Just my opinion.
