What are the Indian Custom Regulations, and how much duty should we pay on purchased goods?
According to the most recent Indian Customs regulations, goods purchased with a value less than Rs. 25000/- will not incur customs duty. However, a duty of 40% on the exceeding value will apply. Adult passengers arriving into India are allowed to carry in a laptop computer duty-free, for personal or business related use. Regarding cigarettes and alcohol, duty-free allowances are restricted to 1 carton of 10 packets (200 sticks) of cigarettes, 1 litre of Spirits and 1 litre of Wine per person to be brought into India (currently applicable, please check for latest update prior to actual travel date.) Expensive articles that are carried out of the country (exported) such as cameras and video cameras, which will be brought in (imported) again, must be declared at the customs counter on departure (after immigration), providing details such as model number and serial number.
