Re: [PRODIG] Duty payable on importing from usa

[Barry Murphy]

Yes indeed, its the same here in Ireland, the criteria being a digital 
'STILLS' camera, not a digital camcorder. You will be given a tariff 
number for this import type with a zero duty levy, which must be 
displayed on the packaging. I did it last year and saved quite a lot of 
money, €14,000 to be exact !!! yes fourteen thousand ! All I had to pay 
was the VAT on entry, happy camper was I.

BTW if you also purchase lenses and any accessories and ship them 
together you will probably not have to pay any duty on them either as 
they would also be for digital still usage, just make sure its in the 
one package.

great innit !
