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


You have to pay duty on all flat panel televisions

 (LCD, LED, Plasma etc).


Can anyone confirm how much duty will be applicable on an led, lcd tv ?

Update : 36.05% Tax on LCD / LED / PLASMA

Isn’t it covered under the Duty Free Allowance? 

No, Duty Free Allowance is not applicable to flat panel televisions since 26 August 2013. 

Customs Duty is applicable to flat panel televisions of ALL SIZES.










The goods over and above the free allowances of 25K (which includes electronics and jewellery - excluding one laptop) shall be chargeable at
more then 35% customs duty - you need to pay duty on anything exceeding 25K

Too many people are asking what K stands for ?
K stands for thousand
Example 25K means 25 x 1000 = 25000





If you take it when you Return to India for Good, you will pay only 15% duty under Transfer of Residence


LED TV



The 36.05% is calculated based on cost price or market price in India?
36.05% on “assessed value”


The value will be assessed on arrival, based on parameters such as make, model, condition of the TV : whether new or old etc.

To help in assessment, Customs Officers have an internal database with popular TV models and their prices.


Please have your tv reciept handy in case of dispute.


Allowances cannot be pooled, even among family members.

Reciepts / Bills / Invoice ?
Always it is good to have receipts ready or you will end up paying customs duty for somewhat arbitrary value for the TV, fixed by the india customs

The duty is assessed on the "value" of the goods rather than the figure that may be written on any "invoice" produced by the importer. Customs have a database which is used to assess the value so underdeclaring value to avoid duty doesn't work anymore.

Do not try to bribe a customs officer to avoid the duty.
The penalties for being caught initiating a bribe are quite significant and unpleasant nowadays. You will have to tackle Indian customs on your own and if you have the knack and know how to deal with them, you can get away easily, else, you pay through your nose.

Voltage and Frequency differences 


Indian power voltage is 240 volts while the United States has 115 volts ... you may need voltage converter and a plug adapter 

Which brand/model will work in India?

I want to buy a TV only after I am sure that it will work there.
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.
LCD TVs prices in India are very expensive compared to US.

My parents are visiting us in the US right now. They want to take a 32" LCD TV back to India....... Is it Worth It ?

Some models of the TV's and Blue Ray Players now are multi Region (NTSC/ATSC/PAL/QAM)

When You use a SET-UP Box with HDMI Output (Reliance Big TV / SUN Direct / Airtel) you don't have to worry about PAL / NTSC cause they all relay DIGITAL Signal.

If you're planning to use this "LCD TV" as a computer monitor, then you can consider taking it to India.

Airlines will not charge anything additional, other than what they charge for an extra box/package as shipped with your baggage. (airlines cover it if its lost and not if it is broken)

You get good LCD TVs in India which will work with Indian PAL standard and 240 volts and you'll get local warranty as well as support too.


Is It Risky To Carry A LCD TV In Airline Luggage? Can It Be Damaged?
It can be risky! You can request that they label it fragile upon checking the item it. This does not guarantee it will arrive unharmed.

They may not allow you to check it in once you share its contents.

Should they allow, it still must meet the airline’s baggage requirements.

Most, if not all airlines, restrict baggage weight and size.

Baggage over 70lbs are restricted and if allowed you will be charged a set amount.

They also have restrictions based on length and height.


Transport LCD TV 

The absolute best way to transport an LCD TV is in the original box with the original styrofoam forms that protected it - If its in the original packing, it should be able to survive the journeyAssuming you can't do that, your best bet is to pack it as firmly as possible around the back, sides, and only the frame in front. Have nothing pressing on the screen itself.

You get good LCD TVs in India which will work with Indian standard and 240 volts and you'll get local warranty as well as support too.

There is no point in buying in US and taking it to India. Simply too many hassles.

We get so many postings that unfortunately, it will not be possible to respond to you individually.

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.

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 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.

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.

Venkat said...

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.

If a resident Indian were bringing an apple imac from canada to India, after a stay of 2 months on tourist visa, would he have to pay duty on it? If yes, would it be 36 % of the entire cost of the machine? Or would it be after subtracting the permitted value from the cost?

What formalities are required to carry the TV from India to Singapore and vice-verse with out any duty or any other charges.

Please help me with your comments.

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.
