Why Indian customers use Selectido क्यों चुनें Selectido को
Indian customers — especially NRIs visiting family, urban professionals, parents of young children — have always relied on relatives flying back from the US to bring specific items. Selectido removes that dependency. Book a one-hour live video call any day, get exactly what you want, shipped via DHL or USPS.
Selectido ships to all major Indian cities — Mumbai, Delhi NCR (Gurgaon, Noida), Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Chandigarh, and beyond. Wherever DHL, FedEx, or India Post deliver — Selectido reaches you.

Shipping to India and customs शिपिंग एवं सीमा शुल्क
India customs (CBIC — Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs) is among the most variable in the world. Selectido shows side-by-side quotes in your Orders tab before you authorize the international leg — and our specialists will tell you honestly when the duty math doesn't work.
Re: Personal-use imports — duty schedule (summary)
De minimis is approximately ₹10,000 (~USD 120) for gifts between individuals — these clear without duty if marked accurately. For personal-use shipments outside the gift route, the threshold is much lower — roughly ₹100 (~USD 1.20).
Above the threshold, duty rates range from 38% to 77% depending on category. Apple electronics typically 38–42%. Cosmetics & supplements 50–60%. Apparel & footwear 55–65%. Bulk goods can hit the top of the range.
Lightweight high-value items are usually worth it — electronics, supplements, prestige beauty. Bulky low-value items often aren't. Selectido never under-declares; we'll tell you honestly when the math doesn't work before you ship.

Yes. Personal-use imports of unlocked phones are legal as long as you pay applicable customs duty on arrival. Many NRIs use this route for new iPhone launches — the US-India price gap on Pro Max models alone often covers the duty and shipping with money to spare.
