Tax to send a laptop to india from USA?

I will send a $600 cost laptop to india from USA thru courier or some means
1.Can I or my friend pay WAT for the laptop.
2. How much amount we have to pay?
3. What is the easiest way to send the laptop to my friend?
thanks for all replies

Do not send it through courier. It may be damaged and you will have to pay tax on it.

The best way is to send it though some one from USA. One laptop per one person is allowed without payment of any tax. (Irrespective of its cost.). So sent it through your friends.

not sure what you mean by 'WAT', do you mean 'VAT' or Value Added Tax? If so, that applies only to the EU and not in the US. I don't believe there is a tax applicable if this is a gift and won't be resold in the US. A tax applies if your friend is importing this laptop for resale in the US. You should make sure to get courier insurance however, to cover possible damage during shipping.

dear you can send the laptop without paying any money to Indian tax department if the same is sent along-with a person who is traveling from USA to India. one self laptop is allowed as for personal use. please make sure that the laptop is not packed.

Mr.NJ Reddy is right
