Buying GPU from Amazon or having a friend bring it in...

[atiqulbari]

Hi
I'm setting up a content studio. So going to need a bunch of pcs. One thing that bugs me a lot is high GPU price (as compared to Amazon rates). Does anyone here have the experience of bringing GPU from abroad (buying from amazon or having someone to bring it in..)?

I need to know what kind of tax/customs duty I'm looking forward to.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Regards
Atiqul

there shouldn't be any tax or any extra cost to pay if you are bringing pc parts from abroad but i think the luggage weight would be a factor here

but even if you are willing to buy bunch of parts from abroad it will be safe to buy from bd instead as you will get the warranty services which you might not get bringing gpus from abroad

As long as you bring GPU product as luggage, you won't have to go through customs hassle.

Lol please, I've seen people bring 10 Xbox One S from US and sold them off at higher price for profit

Well there are many ways you can do this, simplest way would be what Trave160 said, just be sure to not have it as hand luggage. a much more expensive option would be actually importing it by renting out space in a container, but you wouldn't be saving much that way to begin with. So wouldn't recommend it unless you're ordering a huge amount of them.
