There doesn't seem to be any up to date information on the net (at least not where I can find it) so thought I'd ask here for some:
Am looking to buy a new phone (Oneplus 7 pro) from China AliExpress because they are built there and priced at about half of what you pay here from some really dodgy sellers.
Main issue is what kind of import duties am I looking at? (phone should be under the $500 level).
AND is it a bitch to get registered here - clearly I already have my old phone registers and I would only be swapping them out.
Thanks for any help and advise particularly on stuff I haven't thought of.
P.S. I have bought from AliExpress in the past and know the procedure for paying (bank transfer) for the customs charges but not since the new regulations (2 years ago now!) came into effect.
