Expect to get striped up on the Tax if you decide to Import..

Base it on the value of the TV itself then you may ( or may not ) have a pleaseant surprise with your actual Duty rate when you have to pay..

Found this below it depends which country you are coming from

Thailand uses PAL B/G with the sound carried at 5.5Mhz above the video signal, the UK uses PAL I with the sound at 6.0Mhz above. Check the specifications of the TV that you are buying that it can work with PAL B/G, otherwise you'll get no sound. Many - but not all - TVs sold in Europe support all PAL formats, but check first to be sure.

The above only matters for receiving terrestrial or cable TV via the tuner. Direct input (e.g. SCART) from a DVD player, video player or satellite box will not be affected by this.
