also what is the percentage for laptop?
yes, it will only be on the excess amount & not the whole amount....you will have to search online for what the duty percentage is for a laptop as i don't have an answer to that....perhaps others here will know....

you don't need any stamp for the first laptop....no questions will be asked on your way back....

like i said before, it doesn't matter whether you check it in or keep it in your carry on luggage....
