Taking a small desktop computer to India

[defriend]

Hi,

I am planning to visit India for a few weeks next month.

I am aware of the Indian customs rule about allowing one laptop per person over 18 years old. Can I take a small desktop with me? This is the HP Slimline series which are really small and they will easily fit into the carry-on baggage. I also plan to take a keyboard, mouse and small (14") LCD monitor.

Port of entry in India will be Bangalore.

Please advise of any customs issues, complications, tips etc.

Regards
Nick

I don't know about carrying your desktop in your carry-on luggage, but I have taken a desktop from the US to India about 2 years back and didn't have any issues with customs or anything. I landed in New Delhi, if that helps.

I had a couple cables in my checked in luggage and when I got them back @ Delhi, there was a letter inside stating that they had to open my baggage because the cables showed up on the scan or whatever. Wasn't an issue.
