I recently bought a 32" LCD TV and would like to take that to India. Is there any customs duty in India for LCD tvs? I'm flying on Air India express and I heard that they don't consider Television as free luggage, is that true? Please help

Last year my friend paid 2000INR for a 29" LCD as duty.

You have to pay customs duty in indian airport. LCD & LED television in the group of 'fancy'. 32" LCD duty will not less than 4000 INR. But you are travelling to India. You can bribe them. But remember, it is illegal.

Hi

Yes, there's a flat rate duty on all LCD's depending on their size. As what i know duty varies from 6000 to 10,000 rupees.

Thats true, its not considered as free luggage,

You have to get it shipped either through some cargo service like Singapore cargo for AirCargo or else u have to check with Qatar Aviation for the requirements to send this to India. Once it reaches India, you have to show the invoice and all the docs to them in customs clearance office in India and they will charge you the Customs duty and since its personal effect then i hope no legalization on the item.

I don't remember abt the percentage of customs duty they will charge,

Hope this details helps u
