taking Laptops to lima

[Sergio Armani]

guys I know you are able to bring laptops to lima but do you know if they make any difference between notebooks and netbooks? ...I mean in my next fly I'm taking a 17" laptop with me plus a 10" netbook (my wifes) but she is not coming with me she is already in lima.....My doubt is if they will count both as 2 laptops...maybe is a silly question but I would like to find out if I gonna have to pay something for the netbook....I know some of you fly to lime frequently so maybe you know.

Not 100% sure but most likely they will count it as two laptops and charge you extra for one.

 

[RT Gooch]

I agree with Jake. If they count it, they will count as two.

Whenever I bring an extra computer with me, my stance is that the new (expensive) one is mine, and therefore tax-free. The used (cheap) one is the extra, and I am bringing that as a gift. I dummy up a receipt for the used laptop (for $119, or some such low number), and -- if I have to pay any duties -- they base the tax on the receipt price.

"taking Laptops to Lima"
I take two almost every time and never had any problems. I take my 11" Mac Air, and a 14" Laptop to sell.

good to know Juan, thanks!...if I may ask you a question..where do you find people to buy your laptops? ..my crazy wife wants to buy the big laptop from me..but it doesnt make any sense to me to do that besides I dont think she is going to give me the $800 dollars I was thinking in asking.

I sell them to friends or people I met over the years in Lima. I'll send you a PM.

Your wife wants to buy your laptop???? How does that arrangement work? Is money exchanged when it comes to sex?
