Hello all,



Shipping lots of stuff over next month, but not sure whether we should bother bringing a TV.



I'm aware duty would need to be paid on a TV, so is it still worth shipping one over. In England you can now get a 46" LCD for around £1000, would the overall cost with duty paid still be much less than what you could buy for in Cyprus?

Were your TVs still boxed? What airport did you fly into? Did you have any problems with excess baggage etc.

Thinking of bringing a TV from UK myself

Hi Pools, CTA as most airlines will charge £6.00 per Kg. but I found CTA pretty good for instance if you are overweight by say 6 Kgs. no charge

Is there not a problem with receiving sound in TRNC on UK tvs? I appreciate that hooked up to satelite it shouldn't be a problem, but what about about terrestrial.

I have just brought over a container of furniture this included a new plasma 32inch tv repacked also a hi fi system all this was listed the total charge was 50 ytl approx £20 customs did not bother to open any boxes or check furniture or other goods . By chance my patio furniture was first out of the container the three customs officers were quite happy to sit down have a cold drink and watch the world go by no problems just repack new items .

harold,



on older tv's there was a problem with sound connecting to terrestrial tv. On most modern TV's there should not be a problem but no guarantee. Satillite is no problem.
