Hi ravindra,
My name is Santhosh. I want to buy 'HTC TYTN II pocket PC phone'. In one of the website I have found that the cost of phone is $250-if I get it shipped within UK or USA. If it is other countries it is $320(this includes shipping) cost. Could you please tell me which one would be the best way to get the phone.
i)If I ask my friend to get that phone as he is travelling down to india for holidays from UK,In this case can he carry newly purchased phone telling that it is personal or still he has to pay any duty,if yes how much he has to pay. How many phones he can carry at a time & please tell me what procedure he has to follow to get it.
ii)If i get it shipped directly from seller by paying $320.
iii)if i ask my friend to ship within UK & send personal courier to me.
I kindly request you to answer each case pros & cons in detail as i dont know anything about import,
