Anyone fly with a 40″ TV
Nov

Anyone ever fly with a TV in their checked baggage, I know extra fees and duties but just wondering if it was possible?
Thx
Answer #2
Not worried about fees or duties, just the likelyhood of it getting damaged in transport and if permitted by the Airline. Been on hold twice for over 30 mins so far…….
Answer #3
Andy….the customs and duty fees might far outweigh the benefit of bringing it here. I found out the fees when I tried this 7 months ago to be prohibitive. I bought a great LED 42″ Samsung here for $840. Was it more expensive than in the USA..yes, by about $200, but I was quoted much more than that to bring one in….so for me it was actually cheaper to buy it here and not have the hassle and risk of breakage.
I believe you can bring in 1 TV at 32″ if memory serves. However it is always best to do as much checking as you can since things change here with the rules.
Hope that helped some.

Thanks guys, I didn’t really want to do it but my brother in law in Ecuador wanted it and was willing to pay all the expenses. I was more concerned about damage. Thanks for your comments that I used to dissuade him.

Answer #1
I am sure you know this, but I think the government charges an extra fee for bringing in any tv over 22″. This is besides the airline fees. Hope you find an answer.
