Hi,
I want my relatives to send me a new computer from the US to Iceland. Does anybody has experience with this? The total value of the computer is about $ 1300, ie. ISK 100 000.
Does anybody know how much tax am I gonna pay picking up the computer from the local post office?
I have tried to contact the customs office in Reyjkjavik, but no answer yet: (
Cheers
Sonia

I'd like to open a sort of gift store with imported items from Nepal. Is it possible in Iceland? I'm not citizen of Iceland. I just visited and loved it.

@montenegro
Import taxes can be more expensive than the price of the original item, because you also pay taxes on transport...
So sending anything from abroad to Iceland by mail is NOT a good idea. Much better either to come with it when you first arrive or to get someone to bring it for you. It can also be quicker because mail parcels sit in the customs for an indefinite amount of time. I had an ebay order from the US which took two months to arrive. And then the things arrive to your local post office and you have to go and pick them up.
Icelanders are talking about abolishing this system in order to become able to shop online but as far as I know they have not done it yet.
