Question is where are you going to get it from ??.Its not available readily in stores.Customs would not be a problem as long as u carry it without box.

Yes you could certainly get it but if you get charged customs( not sure how much is charged) it beats the whole point of getting from US.

Sales tax is dependent on the state you are buying from. Each state has a different rate, ranging from 0 all the way to 8.75, AFAIK.

You should be able to bring it in without customs issues if it is not in the box..

Ummm Aman where did you get that piece of info from? :p

Since the iPad 2 has been launched in India, one might as well assume that the warranty can be claimed here.

so is it / it's not... i believed almost all apple products has international warranty.

Read this taken off from iPad2 warranty cover "If you seek service in a country that is not the country of original purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. Where international service is available, Apple may repair or exchange defective products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards. In accordance with applicable law, Apple may require that you furnish proof of purchase details and/or comply with registration requirements before receiving warranty service".

I called NZ customer care 1 agent told yes it is there ,another says no :S

I have been told time and again by many people that iPhone and iPad do NOT have international warranty.
It is only the iPod touch that does..!
