Can tablets like apple ipad be considered an "electrical" equipment? I know it falls under electronics. But could it be electrical since the adapter is plugged to electrical outlets?

When I was young, it was simple. "Electrical" meant things having to do with power creation and distribution and things like radios and TVs were "electronic". Computers would have bee electronic. But these days it's been bastardized by common usage to where the customs people may think they can distinguish among them but I doubt many people can.new6ton said:So what do you make of "electrical"? Maybe it just means "electronic"? But isn't it electrical is different from electronic?

I mean, there ARE things that are clearly "electrical" such as a power transformer and other things that are clearly "electronic", like a transistor, but beyond the obvious it becomes unclear. Personally, I think an iPad is electronic.
Your point about customs is a good one though. I think you just have to check the customs forms and make your best guess it it's unclear.
