Carrying 2 laptops to India.

[Devender]

I am carrying 2 laptops to India. I know that taking one laptop is free but what about the second laptop? Does anybody know about that?

Duty ..
Best thing is if you are travelling with family or frind let them carry the other one ..else you may have to pay the duty.

This is actual Law.. it says one laptop for one person!

In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 25 of the Customs Act, 1962 (52 of 1962), the Central Government, being satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to do, hereby exempts one laptop computer (notebook computer) falling under tariff item 98030000 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975) when imported into India by a passenger of the age of 18 years or above (other than member of crew ) from whole of the duty of Customs leviable thereon under the First Schedule to the said Customs Tariff Act.
