How much customs duty you have to pay on items imported to India?

Friends! like our facebook page to get all our updates
Some days back I noticed one of my friends complaining about the heavy import duty that was applied on the products that he imported to India from the US. He was importing a Galaxy s4 and the authorities were fining him because he did not have any import licence. Now I am not very clear whether there is any necessity for import licence but I can inform you that if you need stuff delivered from any other country to India then you need to pay taxes or import duty.

How is customs duty calculated?

In order to calculate the import duty you need to keep in mind that the assessed value of the goods may not be the actual value of the product. It depends on their whims and I think that is where all the problems come up. If you ordered say a Galaxy s4 for $700 then it is possible that the officers asses the value to be $800 and charge a 6% duty on that.

If you are receiving a gift whose value is less than RS 5000 then you need to pay import duty on that.
