Import of gift through POST

[ajithkumarc]

Hi,

I want to import an ipad from china (purchased through online seller) as a gift for my brother who is residing in the same city where i am also. The total cost inclusive of shipping charges comes to Rs 9400. Please let me know whether customs will levy duty on the item imported.

If so, What are the document or procedures required to convince the customs that the item is a gift?

Is my brother liable to pay duty as he is getting the item free ( as payment is made by me)

If customs has levied duty what should i do. To whom i have to contact for help.

REgards,

Ajith

The only information available in the customs manual 2012 is any body send bona fide gift of value upto Rs 10000 free of customs duty but my above queries are not covered. So please help
