I'm a bit confused and thought I'd ask the question here. Please only helpful answers and no motzerei (preferably from people who really know it or even had to do something with it.)
And I ordered online at Saturn (on Black Friday) an Xbox One S console. That was a bargain price for only 99 euro (from 230 euro). The console I would like to bring with original packaging in Turkey. The Xbox with original packaging weighs around 3.5kg I would like to give it to my friend for his birthday. He lives in Turkey in Trabzon (Asian side) and I will fly next week. Document is of course with it. I would like to have the device in my hand luggage as the guys in the airport throw the bags around like anything else. I can't risk that.
I researched all over the internet, even called the airport in Trabzon. The guy in customs said I did not need to pay tax. Just bring a document and it's good. There's a control generator on the Internet or whatever you call it. Since I can choose the category (in this case electronics) and enter the price. There's something of 17 euro. I do not know if this is the right page either.
So now the question;
Will I have to pay tax for the device or not?
Does it matter if I carry the device with its original packaging? Or unpack and take off in the backpack?
Can I take the device with me to Turkey at all? Is there a general rule or does it change from airline to airline? (My dad flies with the Sunexpress)
Very easily
it's your property you do not have to pay taxes
or do you want to pay for your mobile phone?
You can transport it in original packaging
you do not live in Turkey
You pay taxes if you live in Turkey, have bought it in Germany and would like to introduce
but not yes
You do not have to pay taxes for it
The packaging also includes batteries for the controller. Should that be problematic?
I do not know about batteries. However, I always had to take batteries with me in my hand luggage
No thing
What would be with charge kits or So docking stations is called that. Are so adapter where you can charge the controller. Can I also carry in my luggage or?
Yes of course
also suitcases
