How does duty-free gifting work an how does it help me save money?
According to the Government of India bonafide gifts up to the value of Rs10,000 are exempt from customs duty. Gifts can be sent to persons at any address in India but must be paid for using an US payment method (such as PayPal, Google Checkout or Amazon Simple Pay). All products on 20North that are eligible for a duty free purchase will be clearly marked with a “gift” icon and will show a “Gift Price”. You simply add these products to your shopping cart like any other product and as part of the checkout process we will guide you through making the purchase as a duty free gift. You can buy gifts totaling more than Rs. 10,000 as long as long as each individual product costs under Rs.10,000. Our system will automatically create multiple gift packages for you, ensuring that each of the packages costs Rs 10,000 or less. An express shipping surcharge of US$12 is required per gift package. Our system will ensure that the number of gift packages (and therefore gift surcharges) are minimized. C
