I don't really care because he can afford it many times over. At the same time I understand that moving abroad with your computer can be a huge pain in the ass, so I would like to see that suck less.
Easiest way to avoid the dismissals of the personal belongings tax exemptions is to just mildy damage the product in front of the officials, scratching the laptop cover with keys for instance or in a funny case I read on reddit about a dude who pulled out a hammer and dented a fridge he was trying to get thru customs tax free
Beyond my ken, frankly. I just watched a streamer I like have a hard time moving to Ireland in terms of customs.
lol they are used personnel belongings, not goods for import, and the pigs quoting their own price tag proves intent of exhortation
Nothing annoys me more than mfers who are confident yet don't know shit or bother to do the research, first of all if he had excess personal belongings they wouldn't have bothered accusing him of trying to sell his stuff and again the fact they quoted their own price without any confirmation is proof of intent to exhort
Customs or Import duty for Computer Monitor to Mexico General duty is 0%
Customs or Import duty for Cpu to Mexico General duty is 0%

And last of all who gives a fuck if someone wants to smuggle electronics, it's a victimless crime and shouldn't be taxed by money-grubbing states
*Ok it's clear now that you don't have theory of mind
You're using this as a substitute for saying ableist slurs and I wish you a happy fuck you and please get hit by a bus.
It is ableism for you to disagree with someone and immediately leap to saying the equivalent of "you are mentally ill or incapable of thought".
What you are doing here is the equivalent of saying ret*rd, except you're doing it in a snooty pseudo-intellectual way that makes you feel like you're not the shitty terrible awful person that you are.
You should be stuffed into a circus cannon and launched into the sea.
You can demonstrate the value of the merchandise that is part of the franchise with invoices or sales receipts. In case of not having these, the customs personnel will be able to determine the value of the merchandise
ONLY IF the goods in question are susceptible to the import tax, in Hasans case they were not, if anyone's ignoring anything its you: general duty 0%, tax exempt, reading comprehension is very important
Ok it's clear now that you don't have theory of mind
You seem to like using terms you don't understand, yet you struggle with basic concepts like the equipment is TAX EXEMPT he didn't have to declare them thru a Ata carnet as my links demonstrated
It was to show you that customs people in any country can and will assign any value when they catch you lying on what is being brought in
Wtf does that have to do with hasans situation, he didn't bring in a quantity that violated the tax emeption clauses and he wasn't lying about not selling his personnel belongings, he also wasn't allowed to the prove the true value of the products, you like talking about "theory of mind" yet the only mind you seem to be considering is that of a corrupt customs official despite the fact they violated the tax emeption rules
If you exceed this exemption or if your family’s combined amount exceeds the combined exemption, but the value of the goods does not surpass three thousand dollars, there is a flat 15% rate of duties and taxes, which is applied only to the amount exceeding the exemption (individual or combined). You must fill out a payment form, which is available at the Customs counter
The monitor has it own specific tax exemption you stupid fuck, what do you think general duty 0% refers to? Franchise applies to goods intended for sale, do you not understand what the phrase "in addition to personal belongings" means? Those are covered separately by different codes, do you seriously believe every single person who enters Mexico with a laptop or computer product over 500 dollars has to pay a 57 dollar tax you dumb fuck unless they apply for a Ata document
If that was true they wouldn't have bothering accusing him of trying sell his shit, context clues they're kinda obvious in this case
Read the code carefully and don't jump to assumptions
Number one the VAT doesn't apply because the specific product is tax exempt when labeled under personnel belongings, second he didn't import anything under a shipping code because again its personal belongings, third the 57 tax only applies if he intended to sell his stuff, which is why instead of just informing of a customs tax on personal electronics they had to accuse him of trying to sell his shit
Hence the quote of 1000 thousand dollars and not 3000 thousand which is the limit of the personal belonging tax exemption, because they knew they could only dismiss the tax exemption and get paid by labeling his stuff under a separate clause, you on the other hand are conflating all the clauses because you dont realize personal belongings and franchise are different categories with different tax duties
Your incorrect interpretation of the code doesn't even gel with the actions of the custom officials themselves, laptops and monitors are listed in same category as phones yet they didn't apply a fuckin vat tax to his phone or the phones of the American tourists who arrived with him, common sense and careful reading should have made this obvious to you
Because that's listed under "or similar" and "with its accessories" you dunce, hence the 0% general duty tax when you look up the monitor category specifically along with cpu's, wouldn't make much sense differentiating between laptops which have monitors and cpu's and individual separate monitors and cpu's
Which again for the fourth fuckin time is why they had to accuse him of trying the sell his shit instead of just informing him of a vat tax which doesn't exist
That's why you have to read goverment codes very carefully because theyre designed to be confusing
a laptop, notebook, omni book or similar
lmao you seriously think that "or similar" is only referring to the omni book, are you serious? Also just what do think the possible accessories for a DVD burner and portable projector are, think and use common sense for one second you dunce
Honestly dude shut the fuck up already, I've repeated the basic facts of personal belongings tax exemption over and over and you have ignored all of it to peddle pedantic nonsense over an incomplete translated list of examples provided by a summary of the relevant code
You were wrong and you didn't know what you were talking about, get the fuck over it, instead of convincing yourself Mexican custom are actaully charging tourists vat taxes for dozens of potential products in their luggage
