Subject: [Leica] OT: Q re Possible Customs Fees re Shipping Laptop US to Bangkok

A family member is traveling in Asia.  I've been asked to send out an
Apple G4 12' laptop.  I plan to send it through the US Post Office
rather than a commercial carrier such as UPS or FedEx.  I would
appreciate any advice I can get from knowledgeable members of the LUG;
in particular, I need to know roughly how much in customs duties the
recipient is likely to have to pay (I will value it at $400 USD, which
seems reasonable based on current ebay listings).

Off list replies would be fine but maybe on list would add to this
wonderful repository of useful information.

Of course it is somewhat on topic inasmuch as the laptop has Photoshop on it.

Thanks,
