hi,

Planning to bring along a used iMac 21.5 inch in its box. Will this be a hassle at the airport in terms of custom duty?

thanks for any info

I doubt it will be a problem, but you might avoid some hassle if you don´t pack it in its original box.

Thanks, I'm using the original box to give it additional protection while being transported. If the original box is the only possible obstacle then I'll do away with it and try to make an eyesore custom box using ordinary cardboard.
