That's incorrect because the assessed goods value is calculated @ 15,000 LL now.infiniteloop wroteIt's bad, because actually only customs are at 15000 NOT VAT , so he should have pay 5% at 15000 and 11% at 1515Salloum wroteIt's a big amount but in reality its around 14% of the price of the item, which is not THAT bad tbh.Kareem wrote
Yes it's crazy expensive. $590 USD item shipped with DHL ( Customs $220 x 15,000 )
So $1000 graphic card is 15 millions LBP you do the math.
And yes it's crazy expensive when the official rate is 1515 LL and if the gov/bank is willing to give you back your money at the official rate if you ever think of filing a lawsuit.
Btw, the 15,000LL is ( according to officials ) till the end of the year and is subject to a big bump early next year probably @ sayrafa rate
