β Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be taxed for bringing multiple Power Banks and Portable Chargers?
Personal items already in use are typically duty-free. However, if they are brand new (unopened) or the quantity is excessive, customs may consider it for commercial use and require taxes. Keeping purchase receipts is recommended.
