My close relative was planning a trip to india then but the trip has been delayed due to some unforeseen circumstances. So my pappy is stuck up there with no sight of it arriving in the distant future. So I wanted some expert opinions as to how to get it to india. Kindly suggest.
First is that I plan a trip to the states for a week
Or 10 days and get it myself. Appx cost of the trip would be 1.2lacs
Second is that I get it couriered and pay the custom duties on it. Don't know how much would it be. Any ideas anyone. ? And how safe is the process and which courier to be used?
The laptops MRP is 3000usd. Its in Troy. Any help is appreciated.
welcome to ft

planning a trip to the states just to get a laptop seems like a very foolish idea....
it you get the laptop courier by a reputed company then it will be very safe....you could also get it insured....not sure about the duty part....i read somewhere that it was 35% but i could be wrong....
