Shipping a television is not always wise. The most important thing to know is: TSI does not insure televisions, this is because shipping a TV, compared to shipping furniture or shipping other large items, carries a higher chance of damage during transit because TVs are fragile. This is why there is no insurance coverage for shipping a TV by air.

How to calculate customs duty in India on used items

In case a person knows the rate of duty for a particular item, it’s easy to calculate the duty that will be charged. However for used items the value is determined by allowing depreciation on a yearly basis. Normally depreciation would be calculated as:

First year depreciation @ 16%2.
Second year depreciation @ 12%3.
Third-year depreciation @ 10%

Hence, for an item that is four years old, the price works out to the new item price less 38%.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1539184135516{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
