At the Indian airport one of my colleague was caught by 2 custom officers as he was carrying 8 watches, that he had bought for his family and relatives.The custom officers fined him Indian rupees 1000 and they told him you can carry only 1 watch.My colIeague had no gold or silver items wid him neither he had any electrical appliances.I want to know that as per the INDIAN CUSTOM RULES a person staying abroad for 3 months can bring back only 1 watch with him?if that's the case he cant even get watches for his own family?We 5 of us have come back to Hongkong as our training got extended on March 8 2008 and will be returning on June 7 2008, We don't want to face any kind of difficulty this time when we return to India in June, so could you please give me your feedback on my above querry and i would also want to know what's our limit on cameras and laptops.Sorry for all the trouble.Thank you very much for all your help.
