| Thanks for the info. I feel better knowing I won't have to argue through red-tape. It does beg the question though why the customs officers at the airport didn't know this? Maybe they just couldn't be bothered talking to me although they were pleasant enough, especially after they realised they could ding me VAT for my laptop. | |

why could they charge you VAT for you rlaptop? only if it was new. last time i bought over my laptop, PS2 about 5 games, hard drives and blah, i wasnt sure and went through and declared, was given a phamlet and told only new items if you owned it for a while then do even need to declare it and go through the 'no items to declare' line.

| Thanks for all the Information. I'm going to be moving stuff over after I move into my apartment, and was going to start looking for info... Now I don't have to... Only difference is I probably won't use a moving company. Had nothing but trouble with them when moving from Singapore and Oregon before that.
All together now... Hooray!   | |

they only thing i would do is be sure you get all the right info and have all the right declarations and forms. you dont want to start on the wrong side of the customs process. the local Swiss embass/consulate should have all the info. good luck!
