Is it ok to bring a laptop on a NBN flight that I bought in the US? Do I have to declare it/pay taxes on it?

Don't declare it, and if they ask say it isn't new (if you feel guilty, use it once to make that the truth).
I have brought computers back and forth and they have never given me a problem, but they did ask once or twice whether they were new.

I'm asking-- if you make aliya, aren't you anyhow allowed to bring a laptop free of tax?

Yes. You are. Just bring it. No one will give you any trouble.

Did you come yet or are you on the Sept. 5 flight?

(I may have seen you or will see you the airport.)

I have notified the authorities.

Sept 5th. And I'm bringing it. Will I see you at the airport?

I might see you.......

I leave the 6th at midnight.......

Yep, I be printing out all the paperwork at the Misrad HaPnim tables. Just look for my nametag.

When I was a bachur, I wanted to bring in camcorders (then they were almost half the price in the US) to help pay for my flight. When I asked my rav if I have to declare it, he said I dont but If they ask me if I am bringing any electronics or anything to resell I am not allowed to lie and say no.
