Importing wires from Amazon

[kneo]

Has anyone tried importing speaker wires from Amazon US? I was looking at buying around 100 ft of 16 AWG wire for my future HT installation and came across this,
RCA 100 ft

They apparently ship to India too and the total costs works out to be

Items: $10.48
Shipping & Handling: $12.97
Total Before Tax: $23.45
Estimated Tax To Be Collected: $0.00
Import Fees Deposit $6.80

Total - $30.25

This is cheap considering the high rates locally. Does custom create any issues with such items?

Are Choseal cables available? If yes, get them. Very nice cables.

OFC - Oxygen Free Copper. These cables are less susceptible to oxidisation.

At least here locally, Croma does not even know about speaker wires! They were just unaware of any Belden (or any other brands) wires for sale.
