Is USA tax(or vat) on purchases based on state or localities within state?

Definitely chuck the box away before you fly back and make sure you've booted up and passed the initial config as well, just in case.

And the receipt and that you have a plausible UK plug... basically, you need to hope that they don't bother checking, and they probably won't.

I was not aware customs do so much checks, it's been close to 2 decades since I stepped out of the EU. Last place was lovely Cuba.

Completely forgotten about the missing £ sign on the keyboard which will annoy me a bit after spending so much.

Reminds me of back in the day when you head to Tottenham Court Road for electronic imports.
