MIKA-the-better-one take them out the boxes......... stomp on them a few times......... and then they are used........ no need to declare them at the airport when you return......... ?
josh HAHA LOL THANX BUT THE THING IS THAT I AM CARRYING 3 PEDALS IN MY HAND LUGGAGE SO DO YOU THINK THAT THEY WILL ASK OR SOMETHING??? I AM ONLY 14 SO I AM ASKING THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS.
AlanRatcliffe Always declare - it's not worth the potential trouble not to. You should only pay 14% VAT.
MIKA-the-better-one Well there you go... 2 different options... The few times i have returned from the USA, or UK with gear...... I never have declared it, but then again you may want to just play it super safe and show them. Perhaps as an american I can play the fool better :-\
ActionArnie Don't you have a certain limit (in value) below which you wouldn't need to declare? Or do you always need to pay VAT?

StephenG it also depends how long u been out the country.. i think if u out for more than 6 months, then anything u bring back is concidered personall effects not subject to duties.
