What custom duty on IT products

[ranjan2001]

I want to buy online a viewsonic 19" LCD monitor from abroad.
Just wondering what will be the custom duty chargable on IT products.

I remember IT products are sub divided into categories & different custom duty is charged on them.
Where can I find the info, if someone knows then please post.
Thanks.

You can delete the other thread yourself since no one else has posted yet.

Regarding custom duty, it differs depending on the product. But it is not advisable because it involves a lot of bureaucratic headache and the money you save by importing is not worth it.
However, if you know someone coming from the US you could ask him to bring it for you.

I have not experienced any problems when last 3 year ago I got some stuff. The postman turned up with a notice letter that you have received 2 packets for 1 the custom has to be paid & the 2nd packed contained books from amazon.com so no duty on books hence it was home delivered.

I went to GPO paid the duty took the receipt & got the parcel delivered within 20mins.....................so no problems at all.
Still want to know any source on the web to know the custom duty?
