Question about Google Nexus 4

[whyonlyme]

As I posted before, I wanted to buy Nexus 4.. AlphaQ advice me to buy it from USA.

I told to my uncle, he ordered it and got it this week. He opened it to see its features..

Now, my question is, as the seal broken and he is using the phone, when he'll come to India, does he face custom for mobile?

Do he have to pay custom charges for mobile, as the mobile is in his regular use??

If yes, then how much custom on $385 ??

Please answer soon...

Even if he brings the sealed box with him, he won't be charged duties

You mean to say that there will be no custom charge???

He opened the seal and using it, so doesn't it give any problem??

One more question, as it's battery is inbuilt, so what if battery dies?

 

[pratyush997]

^ Yeah he can bring only 1 or device at once
nope
you will have to RMA it from US

Sorry, but didn't get it. Can u explain...

Is there any problem if he'll bring it as in use??

He will not have to pay the customs if it is using it at the moment or if it is not sealed..

The custom is around Rs. 1900..

Even if he brings the sealed box with him, he won't be charged duties

so that means custom duty is only charged for more than 1 sealed pack box?

so that means custom duty is only charged for more than 1 sealed pack box?
