Hi,
Sorry if this is on the wrong page.
Next year I am travelling to USA for 3 weeks. I'm planning on buying a decent (£4-600) camera and a laptop out there. Mainly because they are cheaper!
Do I need to declare them when I come back to UK ? Also we are planning on getting a load of clothes over there as well - what about that ?

You also need to consider baggage allowances. Depending on the ticket you buy, airlines may restrict you to one free suitcase i.e. you have to pay for a 2nd suitcase. Also they are getting stricter about hand luggage.0

Have you added the sales tax to the prices that are so much "cheaper"?0

If you go for a lappy, do bear in mind that it will be a US keyboard.
Declare ?
