The TV was just another item of household contents - it wasn't singled out. Import duty was based on the insured value of the whole container. However ... the TV (a very large LG flat screen) developed a problem about 2 years after arriving. ... Read More

Like Timcob I had a few breakages and together they fell close to the insurance excess, so claiming was a waste of time. However, in general, my contents arrived in good shape - top end freight forwarding companies tend to pack them really well. ... Read More
