I brought in some switches that were tax free, so that should apply to unify also

when I am putting a description , I simply put cellphone or mobile phone. Don't get specific because then you're opening up yourself for interpretation (which should not be the case though)....for example, amazon tablet and apple iPad ...imagine these two are sometimes judged differently for taxes :cry:

Ordered some bona fide security camera 2 weeks ago and no tax but they listed it as "cameras". Have 2 more this week so I hoping for the best.

Did you guys know digital cameras are also currently zero rated (listed in the new legislation) while security cameras are still full tax? Makes perfect sense right.

I ent know how customs interpreting it but...

As listed in Tariff Heading Number 8471.30.00 of the First Schedule of the Customs Act to which the exemptions apply. Also listed here http://news.gov.tt/sites/default/files/E-Gazette/Gazette%202020/Legal%20Notices/Legal%20Notice%20No.%20419%20of%202020.pdf
