The start of sales in the United States and some other countries of the world of the new iPad 3 tablet computer caused a great stir, in the early days people stood in huge queues in order to purchase a new device from Apple. However, it is not sold in Russia, so many Russians are interested in how a new gadget can be imported into the country.

Instructions
Step 1
The appearance of each new device from Apple, the recognized legislator in the world of tablet computers, is always perceived with great interest by potential buyers. Unfortunately, the company's products always reach Russia with a long delay, so Russians have to look for various ways to acquire new items. In particular, many are interested in the question of whether it is possible to import an iPad into Russia for a private person and what problems may arise with customs.
Step 2
We can congratulate those who travel abroad and travel by plane, they can completely freely import tablets (and any other goods) worth 10 thousand euros into Russia. If the basic version of iPad 3 costs about $ 500, then one person can import at least 20 computers, or even more (taking into account the difference in the dollar and euro exchange rates). The existing weight restrictions - 50 kg - in this case also do not cause concern, since one iPad weighs less than a kilogram.
Step 3
Previously valid quantitative restrictions on the import of two or more types of goods of the same type have now been canceled, there is only a restriction on the total amount. When importing goods, its value is confirmed by checks. Please note that if you do not use an airplane, but land transport, the amount for which you can import goods duty-free is reduced to 1.5 thousand euros.
Step 4
Do not forget that if the total value of the imported goods exceeds 10 thousand euros (or 1.5 thousand for land transport), you will have to pay a duty of 30% of the value of the goods in excess of the specified norms.
Step 5
Not so long ago, the Russian authorities allowed companies to import duty-free tablets from Apple, so you can expect the price of these devices to fall fairly quickly. The reasons for such a loyalty to a particular company are still debated, but duty-free import of iPad into Russia is still ongoing. It is worth noting that, according to some reports, in October 2012 we can expect the release of the next new product from Apple - iPad 4.
