One retail guy once calculated foreign retail price + customs + shipping and few other charges + some bribe he has to pay + all the sorrow and other horror he has to endure which equated to about 2.5 times of foreign retail!

I refuse to do business with such dealers. The previous D&D of Bryston in India had a similar pricing structure. Needless to say he was dropped and the new distributor has better pricing.
Cheers,

There are quite a few good dealers where you sense good intentions and integrity. Same here. I have always given my business to them only.
 
I just do not like the Harbeth distributor in India - absolutely insane pricing and snooty to boot. Folks are willing to spend if you give a fair deal to them and not charging extortionate prices. Pity there are some more decent brands with them which a lot of folks will have to stay away from.

All in all I do hope some benefits flow through for end consumers from this!

According to the press release “Tariff on alcohol such as Scotch whisky and gin will come down from 150% to 75% and further to 40% over a period of 10 years”​

So, in ten years, a 10 year aged bottle of scotch will only cost 40% more than the retail price in the UK. Plus transportation and associated retail costs. And maybe GST…? but for now 75%…

Sir, a bottle of Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray costs about 1400-1500 rupees in Haryana.. If the customs duty is halved immediately, it is assumed that the prices come down by 200-300 rupees... The silly Indian Gin brands cost upwards of Rs. 1800 in Haryana.. So overall alcohol related inflation will come down all across... American Bourbon will also become a lot cheaper ... Haryana does have some benefits vis a vis the rest of the country...

I foresee a mass migration into Haryana in the coming days!
 
HiFi Gear Made in China goes to UK and then from UK to India ? OR is it directly from China to India ? .

I am not sure if this FTA will have any impact .

FTA with China , Taiwan , Japan will have some impact on Audio prices
