Transport kitchen stand mixer from China to Europe by plane

Transport kitchen stand mixer from China to Europe by plane - Anonymous couple of travelers embracing on abandoned plane at dusk

I'm an Italian living in China. I've bought a kitchen stand mixer in Italy and used here in China.

When I moved here it was packed into a container and delivered by sea.

Now I want to bring it back to my home in Italy, this time by plane with me, as a checked baggage.

Are there any restrictions for electrical devices such as this?

Will there be any tax to pay?

Best Answer

Answer is of course, yes. It's totally OK to check items like TVs, microwaves, appliances, when you fly. You see people doing this every time.

I believe you should NOT have to pay tax. It would be good if you had the receipt that you originally bought it in Italy, but, my guess if you could "talk your way" from it. After all, it will not look brand new.

Nothing to worry about.
