Hey if I travel to USA and while coming back I buy laptop and bring it here.. will there be any custom duty..
If I buy a laptop a tablet, some desktop parts.. for personal use.. will there be any duties I have to pay..
How can I avoid custom duty in such case..
for personal use there won’t be. Technically there is a cap of upto 25k inr but it’s never enforced, also it depends what city you fly into.
If you come in to Delhi it’s very liberal as they’re not looking for traveller like you. They’re more focused on gold diamond and other high value items plus contrabands. I fly international more than a few times every month for over 7-8 years and I don’t recall every being stopped.
Also if you’re carrying loads of luggage then there is a slight possibility of checking even then you can avoid it by saying that your relocating.
lastly if your not the types to save all the packaging and boxes then ditch all the unnecessary items and bring only the actual goods, so even if they check it’ll pass as a personal device.
All in all there is less than 1% chance of you getting checked unless you’re looking/behaving shady, that’s my personal opinion.
hope this helps, cheers
