Customs on LED TV

One of my friend yesterday taken samsung 32 led on Trivananthapuram airport. he paid 4300rs on there

We paid 23670.00 for the TV Samsung we bought for 2200 Qrs.. We paid it from our own pocket last year becoz the relative already paid us the cost and when we landed in India we were forced by customs to pay the duties.Such a big loss.Later on we came to know that at www.compareindia.com they give deals at too much less prices for previous months models.So better buy from there only :(

For any TV Size, 36.05 % duty applicable on import of high-end flat screen (LCD/LED), Plasma television sets with effect from August 26 2013. You also have to take the bill with you, otherwise they will asses based on their own yardsticks for the cost of the TV. Read the following link for more details on the tax.

So they will charge you @16.70 per QR.

For Ex. if your TV costs QR.2500 then you will pay tax = 2500 x 16.70 x 36.05% = INR: 15,050.88.

Upto 32'' is free....they do charge for 40''.

According to new rules the duty will be very high.

It depends on which brand also.

But when I had taken to India, I had paid 1800INR for a Sony 40'' LCD TV.

Irrespective of the Size, all the LCD & LED TVs are subject to duty at the rate of around 35%......in INDIA

what about nepal and pakistan?

Foe 40" no need of paying any duty, if you take 42" then you pay for it
