    No you do not need to own any company. the license is called Import Control License. This is issued by Imports Control Dept. For used laptops the duty is PAL 7.5% and NBT 2%.

    Transaction value is always the customs value. So the duty will be calculated accordingly.

    My advice is do not buy a used one as it is a hassle to go through the Import Control. If you really need a used laptop then ask someone to bring it by hand while coming to SL.

    If it is for a business you will have to go through more areas such as Business Registration, TIN reg etc.

    But as for the values and duties there is no change regardless of a business or a personal use. So for your question yes value is the only thing you have to pay attention to in view of tax.
