Hello,
Can you tell me, please, the amount of Bolivian customs tax on
- books ?
- a laptop ?
Here
if you write
"computadora portatil"
then if you click on "Details"
you will see this: "GA [%]: 10"
If that means the customs tax on a laptop is 10% then this official figure is wrong.
According to my sources, the true Bolivian customs tax on a laptop is 35-40% (a person who lives in Bolivia mentions an 85% tax for a computer but i can't believe it is true ).
I found this testimonial from several years ago : "You will be pretty much stung for about 40% more of the value if it's worth more than US $ 100 - no matter what sites you go to read, laws, etc., they tend to ignore that stuff and try to get as much from you as possible. "
If, on the same web page, if you write "libros" then if you click on "Libros, folletos e impresos similares, como ser: horóscopos, fotonovelas, tiras cómicas o historietas, incluso en hojas suelta, incluso pegables." then if you click on "Detail", you will read this : "AG: 0%". It's impossible.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Patrick
