What is the best way to explain limits on duty free import into India?

  • As an Indian living in the United States, I am constantly asked by friends and family to buy them electronic goods (of course, they tell me that they will pay me once I reach India, which I trust). But there are limits on what you can import into India, and after customs tax, the price will be much more than what you would pay in India. How could one explain this to people in India without hurting them?

  • Answer:

    Tell them that you are carrying two laptops, and thus you will be flagged to go through the red channel. Once in red channel, you will need to pay on an average 40% customs duty, and whether they are still interested in buying things at 1.5 times the price.

This happens a lot to me. Tell them you are carrying a laptop, a DSLR camera, 2 iphones (for your brother/sister/father/mother) and anything more will trigger and you might have to pay for custom duty for these and you dont want to.
