    oi SL tax are ridiculous. That's why people are smuggling these. Taxes adds up to like 60%
    Previously, the tax rate for mobile phones, tablets, computers, and laptops was 7.5%. However, starting January 1st 2024, these items are also subject to VAT, increasing the total tax to approximately 27–30%.
