If you’re considering purchasing an iPhone internationally, it’s essential to account for additional expenses like flight tickets, hotel stays, travel, and visa costs. These can add significantly to your overall expenditure.
Here’s a look at the prices of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max in the US, Canada, Singapore, and Dubai compared to their prices in India. Keep in mind that these figures do not include local taxes, which can range from 5% to 12%, and the final cost may vary based on factors like currency conversion, import duties, and region-specific offers.
Considerations for International Purchases
Duty-Free Allowance for Electronics
What is the duty-free limit for carrying electronics to India from the USA?
India’s duty-free allowance for personal electronic items depends on various factors, including age and duration of stay abroad. If you’re over 18 and have stayed in the US or any foreign country for more than 3 days, you can bring electronic items worth up to INR 50,000 without incurring customs duty. This includes devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets, and cameras.
Can I carry two mobile phones on flights from the USA to India?
While Indian customs rules generally allow one phone per person, you can carry two as long as their total value is within the duty-free limit. If you bring a new phone in a sealed box along with your personal device, you must declare it, show the receipt, and explain its purpose, like gifting.
How many watches can I carry from the USA to India?
You can typically carry 2-3 wristwatches for personal use without customs duty, provided they don’t exceed the duty-free limit. If carrying luxury watches in commercial quantities, expect to face customs scrutiny and taxes.
How many electronic devices can I bring from the USA to India?
Travelers can generally carry one laptop, one tablet, and one mobile phone without issues. If your gadgets exceed the duty-free limit, you’ll need to sign a customs declaration form and go through the red channel for clearance.
India’s ATITHI app can assist with advance currency and customs declarations before you board your flight to India.
Additional Costs and Duty-Free Allowance for Electronics
When buying an iPhone abroad, don’t forget to factor in extra expenses such as flight tickets, accommodation, travel, and visa fees.
Duty-Free Limit: If you’re over 18 and have been outside India for more than 3 days, you can bring back electronics valued up to ₹50,000 without paying customs duty. This includes items like smartphones and tablets.
Bringing Multiple Phones: You can carry two mobile phones as long as their combined value stays within the duty-free limit. If one of the phones is new and in its box, you must declare it and provide a receipt.
Watches and Other Devices: Typically, you can bring back 2-3 wristwatches for personal use without incurring customs duty. For electronic devices, carrying one laptop, one tablet, and one mobile phone is hassle-free. If your total exceeds the duty-free limit, you’ll need to fill out a customs declaration.
