Taking LCD TV to India : Indian Custom Duty on LCD TV

Navigating Indian Customs: Bringing an LCD TV to India

 

smart-tv

In today's globally connected world, traveling across borders with electronics like LED, LCD TVs has become quite common. Whether you're returning home to India after a stint abroad or bringing in electronics as gifts, understanding the nuances of Indian customs duty on such items is crucial. This guide delves into the specifics of taking an LCD TV to India, focusing on the customs duty aspect to ensure you're well-prepared for your journey.


Understanding Indian Customs Duty on LCD TVs

Indian customs regulations have been designed to manage the import of goods efficiently, balancing between facilitating ease of travel and curbing illegal imports. When it comes to bringing HD & LED Smart TVs into India, the customs duty policies are specific and detailed, aiming to regulate the influx of high-value electronic items.

The Duty Structure

As of the latest guidelines, bringing an HDTV into India is subject to customs duty. This duty is calculated based on the value of the television. The intention behind imposing duty on electronics like High end LCD TVs is to protect the domestic market and encourage local purchasing. However, for many Indians returning home or those bringing TVs as gifts, understanding these charges is essential.

The duty rate can be a significant percentage of the Smart TV's value, which is determined based on the Invoice value or the assessed value by the customs officials if the invoice is not available. It's crucial to note that this rate is subject to change based on government policies, so checking the latest regulations before your travel is advisable.

The customs duty applicable to any television being imported into India through airports is set at 38.5% of the value of the same or a similar model available in India.


How to Declare Your LCD TV at Indian Customs
Upon arrival, if you're carrying an HD & LED Smart TV, you'll need to declare it at the customs counter. Here's a streamlined process for doing so:

Invoice and Receipt: Ensure you have the purchase invoice and receipt handy. This documentation will be critical in assessing the value of the TV for duty purposes.

Declaration Form: Fill out the customs declaration form upon arrival, accurately declaring the LCD TV. Misdeclaration can lead to fines or confiscation of the item.

Payment of Duty: Duty payment can be made at the customs counter. Modes of payment may vary, including cash, card, or other electronic methods, depending on the airport.

Exemptions and Limits

There are certain exemptions and limits to the amount of electronics one can bring into India without incurring customs duty. However, for high-value items like LCD TVs, these exemptions are limited. It's worth exploring if your situation qualifies for any specific exemptions, although these cases are rare.

Tips for a Smooth Process
Stay Informed: Regulations change, and staying updated on the latest customs duty rates and policies will help you avoid surprises.

Keep Documents Ready: Having your purchase invoice, warranty card, and any other relevant documentation readily available will ease the customs process.

Consider Costs: Sometimes, the cost of bringing an LCD TV to India, including customs duty, may approach or even exceed the price of purchasing the TV locally. Evaluate this aspect carefully.

Be Honest: Always declare your items honestly to avoid penalties or delays.

Final Thoughts
While bringing an LCD TV to India as part of your luggage is permissible, the customs duty imposed can significantly affect the cost-effectiveness of this decision. Being well-prepared, having all necessary documents in order, and adhering to the customs regulations will ensure a smoother experience at the airport. As always, the key is to weigh the convenience and sentimental value against the potential costs involved.

Hi,

When you mean worth of the TV in INR, do you mean price of the TV paid in USD converted to INR or do you mean the price of the TV in India?


Regards
Arvind

Ronak's said...

Hi All, I live in London and I have this 42inch Thosiba TV with me and I bought it 3years before @ cost of 400GBP - 2nd Hand - now I want to carry this to india...How can this customs makeup the TV cost and caleculate the tax. This TV in uk cost not even 300GBP ( 21,00.00 Indian rupees) and this lessthan 25k ( tax free allowance). Can some one suggest me please.

manchanda ramesh said...

Ronak, notwithstanding hassles, is there a big price differential. Also , we all know that most of the items are made in China, then how about the warranty. Do the India companies accept the warranty clause.
Thanks and regards.

manchanda ramesh said...

Ronak, how about the price differential in LCDs in India and secondly, how about the warranty. Do the India dealers accept the warranty of international brands like Samsung and LG etc

No one seems to have answered the question which is if the price of LCD 32" TV in Dubai is 1200 dirhams which when converted to INR is 24,000/-. However if the same TV is available in Indian markey for Rs 38,000/-, on what amount would the duty be applied i.e. Rs 24,000/- or Rs 38,000/-.

If someone is returning on TR to India, what are the formalities that are needed to be incurred before boarding the airplane and after one has landed in India (Mumbai). Also if the household items such as TV, Music System, Refrigerator and Micowave Oven are 10 years old, would customs duty be applicable and if applicable, to what percentage?

you will have to pay duty on the price of the good (at which you purchased it) i.e. INR 24000 in this case. So, if you don't bring anyother electronic item with you then you can very much bring this TV duty free in India

Hi,
I am posting this for all to know that the Mumbai Customs are behaving in a very bullish and arrogant manner harrasing incoming Indians from vacations after visiting places such a Dubai. I have three instances when our friends and relatives were forced to pay extra duty based on some arbitary list held by the custom officials at the CS airport in Mumbai. Although they have the original invoice and the bill and the credit card payment slip the customs officers in charge insist with threats to pay up according to the list they hold which is anyway atrociously priced and out of limits. people have been fleeced out of 25K and more at times.

Hello,
I am planning to buy a 46inch TV in the US and taking it with me to India. The TV costs close to $800-1000 USD in the US and over INR1,00,00 (equivalent to $2500) in India.

I plan to use the packing i get in the store and probably pay a bit extra (over size luggage) at the airport.

This is my first time doing so and looking to see if anyone has done it before and if this is even feasible.

Any comments would be appreciated.

I was carrying 32" LED last month, and the converted price was less than 20k, but still custom officers asking 5000 INR,. I show my original bills also and I can carry this without custom, but no was ready to listen me. @ Last after 30 min I paid 2000 INR, and come out. While coming out before gate again two police stop me and asking money. They keep me waited 10 min. I paid 500 INR and finally come out.

Altogether it was the pathetic experience in Mumbai International Airport.

when india entered GATT treaty. All political parties except congress(I)
refused and expressed their displeasure. Congress
party assured gatt come into effect most of the things can be imported freely, and for NRIs who earn foreign currency can purchase and import goods without paying customs duty.
even otherwise why should NRIs pay customs duty.
NRIs are not converting indian rupees to dollars and buying goods. NRIs buy foreign goods with the money they have earned out of india. indians travelled to other countries because of the lack of job, poverty and low standard living environment in india.
india's main source of foreign currency is from NRIs. shame on indian customs and govt for still milking NRIs and depriving the rights of NRIs. think and act sensibly.

actually tax should be calculated based on the purchased country price and then converted to indian rupees. for example 1200aed x 12.5 = 15000 rs. but our customs people may say that it is based on the indian price for same prodcut which is rubbish. if so noone will buy it from other country. indian rules are good but some officers change it for thier benefits.

Hello All,

I was reading all these posting till last week. Finally I decided to take a LED 32 Inch tv to India. After research I found that B&H Photo selling Multi System sets which will work in anywhere in the world. It has a built support for 100-240v and 50-70Hz. I got 32 Inch Samsung LED tv for 509$. I don't want to waste my time in India looking for a converter and lose my vacation time. So, I paid some extra money. Again, my in-laws use a old cable tv connection, so just getting a NTSC tv and using a HDMI is out of question here. I got the package from B&H and checked-in the same packing ( i didn't open it in USA ). The package arrived safely in Chennai and went through green channel. No questions asked. I declared worth of good importing as 25,000 on immigration slip. It reached final destination safely and I could set up that in 10 min without any hassle.. and tv working great.

Thanks
Venkat

Unknown said...

Dear members,

First consideration should be on the tech-specs of ur TV model and the compatibility of Indian broadcasting standards..
I think it has been clearly stated from this article through this statement

//////The Digital broadcast standard selected by India is DVB-T while that in the U.S., it's ATSC. Analogue standards (PAl and NTSC) are incompatible too. Make sure the USA bought TV will work in India./////////

other constraints like voltage up/down modifications could well be matched with local tramsformers..so..no issue..

loss in money exchange/comparative Indian market availability of TV data _factors wouldn't also be given much weightage in consideration while taking the aspect of foreignTV model quality not available with Indian available models..
sometimes we have to compromise in these things..no other go..

If u have the receipts and warranty cards to state that ur TV was bought some six months earlier before ur travel date and the price was also within that 50k INR..Then there will be no issue in crossing the checkout..If the weight is within ur allowed limit..25/30 Kg(depends on the airlines).

I sent my Sony 3DTV KDL-40inchHX720 one month back from Tokyo,Japan to Chennai..
my family 4members group luggage administered this..no issues..Enquired about the bills but no hassles..

even they dont had the right receipts @ that time..That model is not in India, The spec was that immpressive one I cant able to get it even now in Japan for that price..That is why I sent it to India even it is pure dedicated Japanese model even with only Japanese onscreen display, voltage constraints and tuners..

I am planning it to use it for dedicated
Bluray3DMovies(Japan/US Region collection) and Internet/Skype/Youtube surfing purposes.

Though it is mentioned that if someone if coming for good back to India, Customs will charge only 15% of duty on TV, I have really bad experience with Customs in Delhi.
They charged 36% flat on TV....please let me know where to file complaint against this unauthorized charges.

- If the TV is damaged , then can I claim insurance from Emirates Airlines ?
Ty very much for your replies in advance.
