This is one of its kind forum. Congrats and thanks to the moderator. I wish to order for some healthcare products from USA like olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, thyroid medication, vitamin supplements etc. All these products are in tablet form except for one product which is in powder form. The payment will be made through an international credit card in advance and then the products will be shipped to India.I live in Gurgaon (Haryana). From where will I get the delivery and what will be the duty I will need to pay? Thanks.

for Vidhi and others on parcel or courier goods to India: According to Indian Customs, except for certain excluded categories, all goods are allowed to be imported through the courier mode. The goods which are not allowed to be imported through courier are (a) animals and plants; (b) perishables; (c) publications containing maps depicting incorrect boundaries of India; (d) precious and semi precious stones, gold or silver in any form; and (e) chemicals falling within Chapters 28, 29 and 38 of the Customs Tariff.

Perishables and chemicals require testing of samples before clearance. Import of animals and plants is subject to sanitary and phyto sanitary regulations. In either case, the assessment and clearance takes time. These goods, therefore, do not fit into the scheme, which envisages Customs clearance on a fast track mode. Further, passenger terminals and Land Customs Stations are not equipped to handle precious and semi precious cargo.

All goods imported into India from abroad is liable to duties of Customs under Section 12 of the Customs Act and also is liable to all the restrictions under the Foreign Trade Act. However, the Government has exempted gifts received from abroad by persons residing in India from duties of Customs and restrictions. At present, import of goods upto the value of Rs. 5,000/- is allowed as gift, duty free. This exemption is allowed only for bonafide gifts imported by air or post. For the purpose of calculation of this value of Rs. 5,000/- the air freight or postal charges paid are not added. Please note this information is intended for reference only.

Dear Moderator, Thank you for your prompt reply. I see that rather than answering my question in particular you have generalized the answer. I appreciate it. Although, my confusion here was that while going through the Indian Customs Website, I came across the customs duty on LCD TVs around 35% if you bring the TV as a baggage. Also, under a special plan if you are a student/working professional and returning after more than an year than the duty goes down to around 15% up to a limit of INR 70,000. Hence, the confusion. I would request you to that if time permits and if you desire then kindly answer my question specifically as I'm really confused. Thank You
