Customs limit on Electronics imported as gift from HK

[experience]

If they're offering it for free then take it. It'll make it easier to track your package once it is shipped.

No, He shouldn't, EMS/Faster shipping attracts customs.

MY story : Bought a laser from dealextreme worth 50 USD with EMS shipping so total of 70 USD, They actually added the shipping price in the total price of the itrem so when it arrived in my nearby post office (After nearly 1 month), I was asked to pay 327 INR as custom duty.

Hope this clears it out.
