If you are bringing iPhone 17 in India, then it is very important to know the customs duty. Let us tell you that 38.5% custom duty has to be paid for a phone with more than 50000. This includes 35% basic customs and 3.5% overload.
Along with customs duty, the Government of India also imposes 18% GST on the total price of the phone. This means that after all these taxes, the final cost of the phone will increase significantly.
According to the current goods rules, if the price of electronic goods you are being brought is less than 50000, then you will not have to pay any custom duty.
To avoid seizure and penalty, you have to announce your iPhone on customs red channel. If this is not done, then your goods can be confiscated and a fine can also be imposed.
It is considered a commercial import to bring more than one phone. Therefore, you have to pay full customs duty on every device. Let us tell you that custom duty rules for commercial imports are more strict than personal use.
While importing the iPhone 17 from China, keep in mind that warranty problems can occur. The warranty of the iPhone purchased from abroad can be found only in the country from where it is purchased.
