Hi - lots of really good info on this thread. I would like to send unaccompanied baggage but don't know if I will be hammered for tax - has anyone done this? I have people who will pick up for me but don't want to put them in an awkward situation.

Is it better to carry on as excess baggage?

thanks!

Hi on another forum someone sent some blinds via air and Im sure they didnt have any problem although he said Sharm has no cargo customs the goods had to go to Cairo for customs clearance and then forwarded to Sharm. He used transglobalexpress

I would really appreciate a copy of this list please. I have just purchased an apartment in Sharm and can't fnd anything definitive on the web on what I can and acn't do. Also I ish to set up a shop there which would require importing goods, has anyone set up a business there? If so any tips would be great!
Thanks
Cass
PS: Hope your shipment went well!

As you probably know,i am actually having my things shipped from the uk(infact,its going today!) so any other questions,just ask.

Please all keep your fingers crossed for me that my things will arrive safely and don"t fall off the back of the ship!!!!!!!

You could contact one of the big international removal companies in the UK. Import allowances and charges change from time to time so you need to have up to date information.
