I might have a few phones coming from the US which haven't been purchased but rather traded and so there is no invoice regarding the value of the products. How will the customs be charged in a scenario like this when no proof of purchase can be shown.
I won't mind paying a little higher amount as customs duty( not astronomically higher).
Please advise.

My uncle wants to send something to me from US.

Can he courier it your NY address?

And also the value is around $170, and it is a gift. So will that be a problem and will I still be charged custom duty?

Wait, there are 2 items. Though each below Rs 10000. Would it be possible to mark both as gifts and put the courier in, one delivered to me and one to my brother in the same house? I only want to do this to avoid custom duty.
 
^ NO. Aramex is a registered freight carrier, and they CANNOT carry bonafide gifts. If you want to avoid duty, your best option is to get it shipped directly from the US, it will take time but you won't be charged duty as then the GIFT criteria will hold good
 
Hello

I have a similar query as mjumrani's query. My friend is gifting me a used laptop which has some parts I can salvage. It has no LCD as he has broken it. No HDD, RAM either. Plus a seperate CPU.
 
The duty on both is 26.8% on the customs assessed value.

I received a mail from ShopandShip a few week ago that my item has been shipped.I have never used this service in my life except opening an account paying $5. Now, the courier guy is calling me and telling me that the package has arrived and need to pay a duty of 1.9K!!!

Can someone tell me what's going on?When I first received the mail, I thought this was some gift since I am a member. Below is what shows in the ShopnShip site
