Buy macbook pro from japan to singapore - tax?

Macbook pro 13inch with retina display is sold for 144600 yen in japan (less than S$2000).
it is sold at S$2388 in singapore. thats a $388 savings.
I am intending to buy it in Japan to use it during my trip there and bring the macbook pro back home.
i would like to ask if there is any tax or inplications from doing this.

Check with the country government to which you will be importing it. We would not know?

  • Want to buy macbook pro from outside egypt and send it as a gift to a U.S.A resident

    i want to buy a macbook pro from outside america and sent it as a gift to an american resident in america

    Because of credit card laws in both US and Canada (not sure about other countries) against online fraud for your protection;
    It is sometimes impossible to purchase something online when your billing and shipping address does not match your Credit Card info.
    One way to bypass this is to call the Apple Store in person and give tell them about your dilema.  Also make sure that your Credit Card compay is aware of what you're about to do so they won't decline or redflag the transaction.
    I have experienced the same issue but for a different purchase.  My Credit Card info and shipping address is the same but I wanted it shipped elsewhere.  I had to inform both Vendor and Credit Card company about what I was doing after my original transaction was declined.

  • Can I buy a Macbook Pro from Apple store Singapore and send it to Italy?

    I' m wandering if I can buy a Macbook Pro Display Retina from Apple Store Singapore online and then send it to Italy. Please answer.
    Thank you :)

    They will not send it to Italy.
    If you want to take possession in Singapore and ship it yourself to Italy, you could.
    When it arrives in Italy, your new MacBook will be subject to VAT at its brand-new value, perhaps 17 percent of the full Retail price.
    I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but this does not seem to save you any money.

  • Can I buy MacBook Pro Thai keyboard in Singapore ?

    If i'm not wrong, when we order MBP online it shipped from Sg to Thailand. So I'm living in Sg, can I buy it here instead ??

    Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store.  To find out whether you can buy something, you must contact the store directly yourself.  Is there some reason you cannot do that?

    Once, Apple refurbs had serial numbers starting with "R" or "RM." That faded away several years ago so I don't think you can tell from the serial number any more. However, the carton is rather plain and says something like "Apple Refurbished Product" on it
    Most of the "mission-critical" Macs at our house are refurbs bought directly from Apple USA. They have all given superb and trouble-free service.

    Can I buy a MacBook Pro from U.S.A's store online with a keyboard English&Arabic? How?

    That is great!
    But the price ismore expensive than the United States.
    In the United States's store $2199
    In the United Ararb Emarates $2499.73
    I can save $300 if I will from United States, but I want the Keyboard English and Arabic.
    Can I request that by contact to Apple?

  • Now I am in Thailand. Can i buy Refurbished Macbook pro from US appple store?

    Excuse me. I am in Thailand. Can i buy Refurbished Macbook pro from US apple store?

    The USA web store requires payment in US funds, from a US source, and with a US billing address for the account.  And as Limnos mentions, they do not ship internationally - they will only ship to a US street address (no P.O. Boxes so no re-shipper will work either).

  • I am a student, I am going to order a MacBook Pro from education shop. Is that possible to apply for tax free at the same time?

    I am a student, I am going to order a MacBook Pro from education shop. Is that possible to apply for tax free at the same time?

    In the US I have not seen a state that allows an individual to claim tax exemption...that is reserved for authorized institutions like public school systems.  Only certain states do not have no-sales tax laws.  When I lived in France, to be free from VAT one had to be a non-citizen and would be reimbursed for goods that were shipped out of the country upon exiting the country...not while still residing there.  That was pretty typical of other European countries at the time, Pre-EU days, that is.

  • I want to talk to someone to be able to buy an apple macbook pro from a store and want to know if in stock

    I want to talk to someone from a local Apple store to be able to buy an apple macbook pro from a store and want to know if in stock before I make a long journey in. How do I do that? It seems Apple is very unfriendly? please help

    Just look up the store you want to go to and give them a call
    http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/
    Also, looking at the Dispatch & Deliver section - http://store.apple.com/uk/help/shipping_delivery
    it looks like UK stores simply do not offer the option of ordering online and picking up at your local store.
    Note that in the US web site, the equivalent page has a Personal Pickup section, which simply appears to not be an option in the UK?

  • Can i buy apple care from the state or the UK if i buy a macbook pro from a recommended apple retailer in nigeria?

    I want to buy a macbook pro from a retailer apple recommended but i am not sure if they sell apple care. I wanna know if i can buy apple care from the UK or the states if i buy the macbook in nigeria.

    Hi adeyy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The AppleCare FAQs has some information that you might find helpful:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/faqs.html
    Where can I purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan?
    Depending on the Apple product, the AppleCare Protection Plan is available at the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and many Apple Authorized Resellers including many wireless service providers. Apple recommends that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan in your country of residence, because each AppleCare Protection Plan has terms and conditions specific to consumers in the country or region in which the plan is offered. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details.
    Regards,

  • Wanna buy a Macbook pro from US...currently living in India.

    I currently live in Kolkata,planning to buy macbook pro retina dispplay from US ..my sister wanna gift me..so in that case will all the after sales services like those damage insurance and other stuff will be valid in India?Will I have to send it to US in case of damage or the thing can be sorted out by stores here in india,(Apple(India))The student discount can only be obtained by US college student as mentioned(true??)

    The warranty and (if you purchase it) AppleCare plan for the MacBook Pro are international in coverage. It is NOT damage insurance, however. It covers manufacturing defects in materiels and workmanship, but if you damage the MBP through your own (or another's) fault, it is your responsibility to pay for repairs. Service can be performed - or in some cases mail-in repair set up - at any Apple authorized service provider.
    I don't know for sure about the student discount. If purchased online you have to buy through your school's store, and that would not be in the US obviously. Purchasing through one of the Apple retail stores might be different, however. I would have your sister call them for their policy first.
    Best of luck.

  • Will I need a converter/adapter for my Macbook Pro in Japan?

    I'm currently set to study abroad in Japan, and I have a few questions about what converters/adapters I'll need. Regrettably, I need to admit I'm not very tech-savvy, making this issue a bit more complicated for me.
    Electricity in Japan runs at 100 volts and 50 hertz, and most (if not all) outlets only accept 2-prong plugs, according to the predeparture information I was provided with.
    I should note that I lost the "plug" attachment of my Macbook's charger, meaning I have to rely exclusively on the 3-prong extension cord to plug my Macbook in. Needless to say, I should definitely get an adatper to be able to plug the 3-prong charger into Japan's 2-prong outlets.
    When it comes to voltage and frequency, though, I'm essentially clueless. What converters and/or adaptors will I need to use my Macbook Pro in Japan? Are there any converters/adapters available that can address both my 3-prong plug and volts/hertz issues in a single product, or will I have to buy a separate product for each of these needs?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can purchase a wall outlet plug adaptor by purchasing any international travel kit such as Apple's or from AAA. No other device is needed. The power unit for your computer is auto-detecting/switching.

  • I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.

    I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works, and shuts down after 30 seconds it. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.
    I am planning on buying a new MacBook Pro later this year, but for the meantime I'm not sure if I should buy a new power adaptor, or if this is a problem with my MacBook Pro. Also does anyone know where I can buy a battery in the UK for 1st Gen MacBook Pro.

    OWC has batteries for 1,1 generation MacBook Pros and they ship internationally - http://eshop.macsales.com/.
    Your best bet for a power adapter is to get one from Apple. Third-party adapters just don't seem to be reliable (or safe). You can also buy a replacement battery directly from Apple, of course, but they're a bit more expensive.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
