My uncle is visiting china for his some work and he has agreed to buy various things for me from china
My question is.  Do we get rc related items like quadkits or other misc. Items like charger etc in china at cheap price.
I have heard that they take heavy import duty for tx rx so im planning to get that from india only...
So do they take heavy impot duty on above items also :help:

If he brings the kits as accompanied baggage, chances are that no duty would be charged. In any case there's free allowance for accompanied baggage. So unless he brings in lots of other items, duty won't be chargeable.

But beware of the fake / duplicate /copied goods. Everything is available at dirt cheap price but chances are that these are not the originals. That applies for goods purchased from local LHSs in India too and also in respect of reputed sites like Banggood. Here we often settle for cheap items knowing that these are copies. But even copied items have different qualities. I don't have a problem with fakes if the quality is reasonable. But its difficult to ascertain quality for a layman.
