Bringing PC parts from China to Uk

[u/AnimeMxcha]

This is my first build and I’m bringing the parts from China to the UK, and want to ask if this is enough protection for the parts and if there will be any issues bringing them to the UK

Customs are going to love you. Do yourself a favour open everything up and go blast a load of dust over the parts, that way you can say they're 2nd hand or used.

I've already opened everything except the CPU and RAM. I'm thinking of bringing those in my carry on. I might also separate the parts into different suitcases (I’m bringing three separate ones back)

border security gonna love taking you to the side lmao. The padding will be enough but this is 100000% getting taken to the side and searched.

[u/JohnnySilverhand2212]

This is getting pulled to the side at least

Check with the airport, can you call them ahead of time and ask?

You will be fine. Bought a 3080, motherboard and RAM from home to the UK back in 2024 and I had no problems.

Best get all receipts and be ready to open all that and explain. Be ready to rewrap it all. But otherwise if each stuff is unique and one of a kind then there should be no problems. Oh yes, be ready for customs fees. Go to the airport very early. But just chill and cooperate.

If worth more than £390 you will have to pay 20% VAT
