dear friend,
AS PER CUSTOM DUTY ACT. 1962 IF U ARE IMPORTING ANY MOBILE PHONE FROM U.S.A THEN DEFINITELY IMPORT DUTY WOULD BE LEVIED.......ON THIS LUGGAGE DUTY WILL ALSO BE LEVIED.AT THE RATE OF 35%
AND OTHER CUSTOM DUTY WILL BE LEVIED AT THE RATE OF 10% + ADDITIONAL DUTY OF CUSTOM U/S 3(1) & 3(5) WILL ALSO BE APPLICABLE...........
BUT U WILL ALSO GET RS. 25000 GENERAL EXEMPTION FOR THE SAME WHEN DUTY LEVIED ON BAGGAGE........
THANKS..........

AFAIK, there is no import duty on personal imports upto Rs. 25k. After that the normal rates of custom duty are applicable.
