I am from Bangladesh and I am planning for a trip to India in the next month. I also have a plan to buy a Macbook Pro, iPhone, and DSLR camera when I am in India as the price of the items here in Bangladesh is too high comparing India.

Now, the question is, can I buy those items and carry all those with me when leaving India?

    Of course you can buy whatever you have money to pay for. You may or may not need to pay import duty on the goods when you arrive in Bangladesh, so be sure to check the applicable customs rules before making decisions.

  • these devices are more like your personal electronic devices. I won't call them an import. They are meant for personal use only, you shouldn't have any problem.
