Carrying a box packed iphone to india from US, any taxes or duty?
Someone i know in US is willing to bring a factory unlocked iphone 5s to india for me. He already has 2 phones in use of his own. I was wondering if he carries the iphone 5s to india while keeping it boxed packed will he have tp pay any taxes or duty at the airport?
the total electronics he is carrying with him, including the iphone, is under ₹ 1 Lakh.
please advice.
Yes he can bring…
One personal phone is free from tax. Also one Lap top is free from Tax. Other than that he can bring Rs.35, 000 worth value items. Beyond that the items are taxable (If they found and insists).
