Hi all,
I just am exploring the possibility of buying a second hand or new 11 Channel AVR hand carried to India from Singapore. Will there be customs issue even if i am able to show it as second hand? Or is there an anti dumping of old electronics that will entitle confiscation of such products at the airport?
Will the customs and igst working out to 29.5% roughly be based on the price tag at Singapore shop or equated in Indian market rate? And will i be able to get it serviced out of warranty, for a reasonable price if i buy it overseas with no indian warranty?
(The reason is, in a couple of months i am going to Singapore for a week and since electronics especially AVRs are cheaper there, i was thinking i could indulge in something like this for a dedicated AV room i could build later as an outhouse. Just an idea flashed to me.
