excise duty for a laptop I will be taking to UK?
I am visiting a friend in UK. We are both meeting first in Switzerland, then going to France and from there to London (where he lives). I am planning to take a laptop to him as a gift. What customs duty will I have to pay? I am assuming in the Schengen zone, I don't have to pay any and just say that it's for my personal use but when I enter UK, I have to tell it's for him.

Personally, I'd just take it out of its box, put it in a bag and walk through customs; you'll be one of thousands walking through with a laptop! France is in the EU, so if you buy there you should be able to just walk through anyway.
