Bringing Electronics to the US The electric system in the US differs from that of most countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Please check and make sure that the electrical appliances you will bring with you are compatible for use in the US. If your electrical appliance says 100-240V, 50/60 Hz, then it will work anywhere in the world, given the right plugs. If not, in which case, the appliance will most likely say 240 V, 60 Hz; you will need a step-up electrical transformer (a transformer that allows high voltage appliances to be stepped-down into low voltage for usage in the US) to make that appliance work. Most laptops, mobile chargers, camera chargers, etc. from almost all brands come with dual voltage, that is, 120/240 V, and therefore, usually only need the right plug. (The better and safer option would be to buy the appliance from the US if possible) The electrical outlets in the US are also different than from those in other countries. Please see the image attached. Plugs for US type outlets are available in local stores and can be used with dual voltage, 120/240 V, 50/60 Hz, appliances safely.
