I am sure many threads have dealt with the Nexus 4 in great detail. I am however only laying down the present situation regarding Nexus 4 imports and hoping to clear some of the confusion about the recent rise in customs duty.

To start with, the total cost of getting a Nexus 4 (16GB) in your hand in India is Rs. 23726 (and this is for my specific situation which may vary)

The breakdown:

Nexus 4 (16GB) + shipping + tax = Rs.21500 (if shipped to Oregan then the cost is only Rs. 20020
Shipping to India + customs = Rs.2364 (PPO Box) Shipping, Handling & Taxes: 618 + Duty & Clearance Fees: Rs. 1,746


My order was placed on 3rd March and shipped on 6th March by Google. I used PPO box to ship it to Bangalore.

Since PPOBox does only have insurance up to $200, How safe is it to order that expensive phone? I want to order one but kind of skeptical about the "missing" packet from Custom (dock) stories. :-(
