I have a relative who is planning to ship a mobile phone back here in Hyd. Now, he wants to know if it attracts any sort of customs. The phone is a motorola Krizr , costs around 9.5k here.
Suppose he send it through fedex or usps and suppose it gets stranded somewhere regarding customs , where would that be , in hyd or mumbai ?
If a custom is levied, how much would it be approx , and should we the pay the courier guys this charge or some other dept ?
Since many people have ordered things from abroad , they can help me through this

.. and whats the best option for courier ? Fedex or something else
 
Mobiles are probably cheaper in India than US. So unless its a model that you cant get here, then dont bother with the trouble. And it will attract customs at the specified rate.

Raghu.
 
Its a new one, and yes i know that prices are cheaper here, but then you dont have control over other's decision and people may not take suggestions in the best spirit always

The point is , the phone is already brought and is to be sent to India.

So , where do we clear the customs and whats it gonna charge like ?
 
^^ customs will be payable "where" its shipped!......
if it can get down to india...without the BOX and other stuff in a lose bag or something via someone....nothing like it...if the relative/fren whoz got it for ya has a friend / relative / known person coming down ANYWHERE in INDIA......not HYD specifically.....get it down here...internal shipping is duty free :p
 
Dude..if you can get it shipped by USPS it wont attract any duty..but if you get it shipped via Fedex or UPS, be prepared to pay heavy duty.

I ordered my Sennheiser PC-150 off eBay, and since it was shipped through USPS there was zero duty (only octroi), however i had to pay Rs 800 duty on my Intellimouse Explorer 3, since it came via Fedex.
