Answer 1 :
If I were you I would look for an online sale of lap tops in India to combat this or even an Ebay shop in India
Answer 2 :
The customs duties will be collected by the Indian authorities when the items enter the country. You will have to find someone who knows what duties will be assessed on each item, if any. All countries have their own duty rates. Check ahead to avoid any big shock.
