Custom Baggage Rules : laptop

6th Dec 1999      neeraj chaturvedi @hotmail.com

Hi,

Just a query,

What are the custom rules to bring laptop from overseas. I have heard,
according to new rules, laptop is considered a personal thing like camera,
watch and mobile phone.

Anyone has clear information in this regard.

I will appreciate any info on this.

Thanx lot

Neeraj,

Please check out the site http://www.return2india.com
as also http://www.indolink.com/Consulate/dutyFree.html

Is there anyone on this list directly associated with customs, who could
tell us the actual practice.

Thanks,
~Vamsi

Hi Neeraj,
no custom rules required.......ofcourse I assume you will bring in only one
Laptop and not a number that could raise suspision...............just walk
into the Security Check  along with the LapTop   and declare it as a cabin
baggage. At least I have not faced any issues till date.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Jayanta,

thanx lot. Yes, I am bringing just one.

Did you buy your laptop overseas and brought it to india? Does that mean,
one laptop with baggage is duty free item?

I dont think it is that simple - if you are lucky you can
walk away without any hassles but recently I had taken my
Laptop on my tour to USA and fortunately I had taken a
customs Cert. while going because when I landed at B'bay the
customs officer insisted on seeing that cert. otherwise he
would have levied customs duty on that.

I think it is matter of luck.
