Ok so my 5000W inverter or Inversol Just kicked the bucket (Died) for about the 3rd time after getting it repaired, at this point im just gonna buy a new one for less than what its gonna cost me to fix the old one!!! my question is do i have to pay any taxes on it at the Airport in STI (Santiago) if i take it in my maleta?? Even though i am going in december and i believe We're Allowed to take Items Duty Free Up to $1,000 USD (assuming you have your Reciept) during normal seasons And $2,000 USD during X-mas and new years Correct??
bassically Taking the Same one i currently Have 5,000W RMS And 10,000W Peak

THANKS!

Trane 3.5 KW?? In your suitcase?

I brought in a Trane 3.5 KW 3 - 5 years ago in my suitcase. Nobody opened the suitcase, nor asked. It cost @ US $1,500. in the US. It, or they are heavy, but less than 50 lbs - the current 'maximum' suitcase weight, from the USA. Worth a try? Your judgment call. Good fortune
