I will be taking two iPads (one iPad Air and one iPad Mini) to India from the USA. One of them I bought in India (I have the receipt) and one I bought while in the US. I am not carrying a laptop with me.

I am also carrying two Apple TV with me, inside my checked in luggage and maybe couple wristwatches as well.

Will there be any problem with customs in India?

    So you're trying to avoid paying taxes on something bought overseas?

  • No, he's asking how much duty, if any, is payable. Nov 20, 2014 at 7:19

    @jpatokal not from his question - he's asking if there's any problems...

  • I have a similar question. I read the document at cbec.gov.in/trvler-guide_ason11June2014.pdf . But I'm still confused. I'll carry two used laptops (more than 6 months old) with me. Would they be included in the 75,000 limit (for professionals) or not ? Nov 21, 2014 at 7:50

As long as you declare everything you bought overseas and/or cannot produce evidence they were purchased in India, you won't have a problem. Note, however, you will probably owe import duty & taxes for those items you take home that didn't originate there.

For an example of what you may expect to pay, you could try this calculation page.

Also note that putting some of the items in your checked in luggage does not obviate you of the requirement to declare.

EDIT: Per jpatokal's comment, the calculator I've linked here is for commercial entities and he found a more useful one for individual travelers.
