Pinebook Pro Initial Impressions

[walterbe]

It is possible, even probable, there is in the legislation dealing with importing of goods a provision for the import of special types of goods like pre-production samples. And other non consumer stuff. An exemption or reduced fee for import.

But;
- then indeed this exemption needs to exist -> contact your customs service
- this exemption needs to be applicable to this situation in general.  -> It is not so clear to me what these productions runs are legally. This is not a commercial project but 'testing machines' is also iffy. These devices are usable as normal computers. 
- the sender must have done the proper declaration about the status and value of these devices to be treated under that hypothetical exemption. -> that has not been done so far I could see regarding my package.

Your point of contact is the customs service of your country. IMHO is the most probable outcome that you will have to pay that and if you do not pay that now very soon your package will be delayed.

And if you do not pay you will not get your computer. Customs will hold it and eventually destroy it, maybe send you a bill for that. Or sell it.
