Quanto de eletrônicos e outros objetos de valor posso trazer com isenção de impostos quando for para a Índia?

45

Estou planejando viajar para a Índia ( COK airport, Kerala) dos Estados Unidos. Quero levar meu laptop e meu tablet (iPad). Posso levar ambos na minha mochila com meus documentos relacionados ao meu trabalho? Acho que posso levar apenas um computador de acordo com a regra. Os costumes consideram meu iPad como um computador? O que tudo eu posso levar?

Um dos meus amigos pegou 2 laptops (1 trabalho e 1 pessoal) e teve problemas no aeroporto.

Também estou planejando levar alguns relógios de pulso (7 deles, cada preço médio é de 45 $). Eu li em um site que eu posso levar o material até no máximo 35000 INR . Isso é verdade? Nesse caso, como gerirei minhas coisas?

Veja o que as regras alfandegárias na Índia estabelecem (a 'permissão gratuita' mencionada é para itens pessoais e a franquia de isenção de impostos de cigarros com álcool):

One laptop computer (notebook computer) over and above the said free allowances mentioned above is also allowed duty free if imported by any passenger of the age of 18 years and above.

Então, obviamente, seu amigo que estava carregando dois laptops (um trabalho, um pessoal) foi interrompido. Tecnicamente, os funcionários da alfândega estavam corretos em tentar cobrar-lhe o dever no segundo. Observe que, especificamente para os cidadãos indianos que voltam do trabalho para o exterior, é permitido trazer "itens de uso profissional", mas os computadores não contam como itens de "uso profissional", pois podem ser reaproveitados por qualquer pessoa.

Além disso, os passageiros com mais de 10 anos que voam da maioria dos países recebem uma isenção de impostos de itens que valem INR 45.000 1 enquanto don ' t cair em uma lista de itens restritos, como álcool / cigarros.

A ambigüidade está em saber se um tablet seria considerado um 'laptop' ou não porque não é definido dentro da lei alfandegária indiana. Você tem o limite de INR 45.000 (o qual o seu iPad pode ou não se encaixar) que você pode reivindicar, mas isso não deixará espaço para seus relógios.

Tudo se resume ao que o funcionário da alfândega inspeciona sua bagagem. Eu tenho sido acenado na maioria das vezes sem minha bagagem sendo inspecionada (em qualquer aeroporto - Índia ou fora, então eu deveria me considerar sortudo!). As chances são de que, se você se parece com um profissional que trabalha, você será parado para inspeção . Eles podem ser menos propensos a parar alguém como eu, porque eu costumo usar minhas roupas de logotipo da universidade quando viajo.

Além disso, se você estiver carregando sete relógios, é provável que os funcionários da alfândega pensem que você os está carregando com o propósito de revender e, portanto, mais propensos a pagar impostos sobre esses itens. Novamente, isso é uma evidência anedótica do que eu vi sobre como os funcionários da alfândega se comportam nos aeroportos indianos.

Recentemente, (de acordo com o Indian Union Budget 2014), o limite que (como eu vi pela última vez quando viajei para a Índia) foi de Rps. 45.000 para outros países além de alguns países vizinhos e todas as informações relacionadas a essa mudança estão contidas no link abaixo.

  1. Até que você leve um laptop como bagagem de mão e outro como check-in, desde que você tenha declarado que os dois não são comprados nos EUA e trazidos para a Índia.

  2. Carregar um laptop e um iPad para continuar sem problemas

  3. Tomar 7 relógios é questionável, mais uma vez é subjetivo para o aeroporto e para o oficial. Tente colocar isso em sacos diferentes. Eu conheço um amigo que carregava dois laptops (um trazido da Índia para o trabalho, outro comprado novo nos EUA) colocado em carregar e despachar malas separadamente. Então ele pegou tablets Android (2), uma DSLR tirada com sua bolsa de transporte e outras guloseimas como 3/4 relógios; ele não teve nenhum problema no aeroporto de Chennai.
