The only new expensive(?) item that we will take back is a flat screen TV and dvd recorder package, not sure how to return to SA...
The move to the UK was so different , as when we sold our house, the buyers moved in, paid us rent until their mortgage was approved, unlike here in the UK where you have to wait until contracts are exchanged.
I am quite stressed at this moment in time.......... as my students used to say.....

You should speak with the company who are doing your move - as they will have all the details of duty payable on any of the items you intend taking. However, I have friends who just returned from Dubai to SA and they were able to take all their stuff back with them including newish (1 year old) flat screen TV's without paying one cent in duty. Good luck!
