i heard that custom guys still are sticking with 35% duty for used LED Tv also... plus is the duty calculated on current market price or price at the time of purchase?

They r sticking to the rule since thats the rule by the Govt ..
Customs folks have a detailed book on the valuation of each kind of tv model and they will use that.. ofcourse thats not updated regularly so the notional price is usually higher than what you may have paid abroad.. if u can prove the same, they are sometimes willing to charge duty on your purchase price but YMMV..

Hi,
I live in Canada from Jan 2013. I bought this tv a year before. My deputation is ends on July and have to move back to Chennai. If I carry this television is it worth and what will be approx duty ? its 55F8000 model.Pls advise.

35% of whatever you paid for it [assuming no discounts]. Or most likely 35% of what the customs manual says it is worth. Figure that out, and figure shipping costs etc of the tv and then see whether or not it makes sense to sell it on craigslist or ebay or wherever before you move out.

As pre custom's rule. Im returning back after 365 days after completing my job,so I am entitled for 75k value of duty free goods. Will they deduct 75k on my tv's worth and put duty for the remaining value?

hi Selva,
i am pretty much same as you. except the fact mine is brand new tv UN55F7500. samsung. bought for 1532$. all i need to know how much it is worth in India customs book value. I am ready to pay the 35% of 1532$.
I am going last week of June. i will let you know. if you go before do let me know. good luck

hi,
i have called British Airways and see if they let me checkin my 55" TV. and the answer is no because the allowed dimensions are
FROM BA SITE
Larger items of up to 190cm x 75cm x 65cm (75in x 29.5in x 25.5in) can be carried for an additional over-sized bag charge. (Currently, we waive this charge so you do not pay it.) Any items bigger than these dimensions will require separate shipping as cargo

My 55" TV is of 75in X 29.5in X 25.5in (only 6 inch more in height). and the same call center lady told me that i can go early and check at the counter and see if they let you checkin because it is only 6 inch difference (no guarantee though). else you have to go with cargo.

So as a PLAN B - i called BA Cargo and they are charging me 275$ + 75$ insurance.

so worst case if i take it as CARGO - do i get the 35000Rs exempt at Indian airport

anyone experienced this scenario before? thanks

sent as cargo means it is held in customs till you pay the duty and / or claim its exemption. Once it gets into the cargo complex you will ideally need a clearing and forwarding agent to help.

i may be wrong here but i remember reading somewhere that tvs are no longer exempt from the duty free allowance....so you would have to pay the same duty whether you carry it with you or send it via cargo....

Could you take your TV to India? Plz share your experience; it wd be helpful to several of us... Thanks!

See.. You can ALWAYS take a TV to India regardless of size etc etc..
Only thing is now you have to pay duty at the applicable rate which is currently around 36.5% on the TOTAL price ( no 35k INR exemption)..

If size is very big and you send by cargo, then it needs to be collected from Cargo complex ( which has its own complexities / costs)..

Dear friend,
I am having toshiba 32'' LED TV, i bought this from Dubai 1 year before and the Billed amount was AED 904/- including delivery charges, My concern is how much Duty exactly I have to pay on it. as per my calculation it is AED 329.96/-. Can any one help me.

If you were in Dubai on assignment and returning home your duty will be assessed differently. If you are trying to bring a TV as a gift, forget it. A 32" LED TV retails in India for about 16k INR (928AED) all inkl, meaning delivery, installation and guarantee.

Hi All,

I live in WA, USA and planning to move back to India in June 2015 for good. I want to take a 55 inch 3D TV to India. Can I carry 55 inch TV in British Airways? I came to US in 2010. As it is after 3 years and I am permanently relocating, if I carry 55inch TV, is it exempted from customs?

Thanks.
