Hi, I am planning to buy a samsung epic 4g mobile phone from ebay.com, but don't know how much about the custom's(import) duty on the phone which i can buy for 15000/- from ebay.com, can any one tell me how much the customs(import) duty is charged on a mobile phone bought around 15000/-, and would they(custom's people) consider the value that is on the invoice or the bill given by the ebay seller or they look at market value of the phone?.
Custom authorities will be able to guide you best on the custom duty. Generally, the custom duty for importing mobiles is just 1.5%. The charge will be decided based on the perceived value of the item in India than the original value for which seller is buying it from US.
Let say the same product is costing Rs.30,000/- in India then the duty will be charged from Rs.225/- to Rs.450/-
I m from INDIA. I want to buy an iPhone from ebay.com. I want to know whether I have to pay custom duty on this if the seller marked the item as "Gift"

pls go to cbec website or caclubindia.com . EVEN PREFRENTIAL RATE reciprocal countries it is not 1.5% or carrying with u personally exemtion is upto Rs 12,000 unless under transfer of residence. STOP GIVING WRONG INFO. SHAME ON UUUUUU
The customs duty is variable (depends on the mood of the customs officer). If they are too lazy to check the item, they will charge the maximum duty of 40%. I have had first hand experience with this.
