For iphone and all, they might mark it as high value product, fragile, electronics etc.
Since the days of drone/toys import from outside, chances of skipping customs valuation is very slim
That's true! But last year, I was fortunate enough to receive two orders without incurring any taxes. Although they weren't as expensive as iPhones, they weren't cheap either. That's why I believe luck plays a role, and it also depends on how the package is labeled. If the seller doesn't declare the real value, there's a chance of avoiding taxes. However, I doubt this seller would take that route. In summary, I agree that importing mobile devices or laptops from outside India can be a headache and not worth it.
 
Total amount = 22% on invoice amount + invoice amount

18% gst for total amount
😅

Short story: company sent me a custom made network hub(costs around 2k inr)
I ended up paying 1.6k as charges in 2018
22% of 2k is 440.
18% of (2k+440) is 439.
So, total is 879. How did u pay 1600?
 
There was no invoice as it was a custom made hub with a basic board and sd card. The officer quoted a higher valuation and i had to pay 1600. He was not satisfied with the declared value of 2k.
Yes, Even if there is a legit invoice, customs officer has full descretion to deny CIF value written on the parcel and put the fair value at his subjection. If he thinks the fair value is higher, then you have to pay import duty on that value. Although that is rare but I have read of such instances when someone orders during black friday sale, etc.
 
Is there any major advantage of purchasing Accor Plus for a person who is already ALL Platinum? Is anyone familiar with what the differences between the two are?

Can someone give more clarity on paying with points?

I am planning on a SE Asia trip this october. I want to book 3 nights at ibis singapore. Is there anyway i can book the non refundable cheaper rate on phone with their CC and pay by points at checkin? What if I don't turn up and not have enough points on my account, accor will be at loss right

No
If u don’t cancel or didn’t check in then ur card will be charged that’s the catch
Without validating ur cc u can’t book
