Details

Phones and electronics ship internationally, but with rules — lithium battery capacity limits, IMEI registration in some destinations, and category-specific duty rates that can add 20–30% to the landed cost. We pre-calculate everything so the quote you see is the price you pay, including duty.

Where to source

  • Phones (Apple, Samsung, OnePlus) — Amazon India and Tata CLiQ usually win. India warranty applies in some markets; verify the model
  • Laptops, tablets — Amazon India for India-spec, Reliance Digital for Indian inventory, Best Buy / B&H for US-only configs
  • Audio (headphones, speakers) — wide range across Amazon India, Rakuten Japan (for Japanese brands), Newegg (US specialty)
  • Cameras and photography — B&H Photo and Newegg have the deepest pro catalog
  • Smart home and accessories — Amazon India or AliExpress depending on price-point

For the cheapest math, India usually wins on common models. For US-only or pro-grade gear, the US lane is the path despite higher freight.

Battery and shipping rules

Lithium batteries above a certain capacity (Wh rating) need air-freight compliance paperwork (UN38.3). We handle this, but it adds 1–2 days at the origin warehouse.

  • Phones, tablets, laptops — almost always under thresholds, ships standard
  • Power banks above 100Wh — restricted on most lanes. Check capacity before ordering
  • E-bikes, hoverboards, scooter batteries — often air-freight prohibited. Surface freight only
  • Spare batteries shipped separately from devices — extra paperwork; not always feasible

We flag any battery-rule issues at quote time so you decide before paying.

Worth knowing

  • For phones, model/variant matters. List storage (128/256/512 GB), color, and exact model code in the order note
  • Indian-spec phones often have international warranty for Apple, Samsung. Check before assuming model parity
  • IMEI registration is required in some destinations (Nepal, certain Gulf states). We handle the paperwork; you'll need to provide ID
  • Voltage matters for non-battery electronics — Japan (100V) and US (110V) differ from India / most Asia (230V). Confirm dual-voltage support
  • For high-value items (over $500), keep the original invoice — destination customs may ask
  • Compare across origins before booking — same SKU can vary 20–40% on landed cost
