I'm a woman, so my suggestions may be more "female centric" but, good quality hair dryers, IPL devices, wellness products (like shampoos and all) the likes and variety of which you'd never even heard of in India are available there at the same price Same for heeled boots, gowns, etc I also found more variety of Bluetooth keyboards, mice, headphones (except Sony, those are cheaper in India), game controllers, available on American Amazon for decent prices

1. T Shirts. You have colours & patterns available in the US that you'd never get in India or Asia. 2. Watches. If you wear them. 3. Shoes. I buy all my formal & dress shoes from the US - the difference in finishing / quality is stark. 4. Eye wear - if you need it for vision correction / are a connoisseur. Frames available in the US aren't available in India - though admittedly European frames are better designed.

Coming from abroad: How many items can you bring?

Me and one of my friends are travelling abroad from India for the next 3 months. A lot of people in our circle are requesting macbooks. iphones and DSLRs to be bought from there since it’s usually cheaper there. I have been reading a lot of customs rules, and they seem to be highly strict for these, but nothing explicitly is mentioned about unboxed items. I wanted to know about these cases from people who have experienced it before. If I unbox and use the items, will they be allowed without duty, and will I even need to declare them?

Getting macbook from the US

Hi everyone, my friends are going to the US and I wanted to buy MacBook there and then they will bring it back to India. I had read that it cheaper that way, but I am not sure by how much? I think it is cheaper than the student pricing here. Should they just buy it in an Apple Store? And any other thing that I should aware about the purchase? Thanks!

I might be visiting USA in July, what are the things I should have on my checklist?

I don't buy Apple products but some electronics are way cheaper there that I'd like to explore, like a good quality fitness tracker for dad. Would it be possible to hunt for jobs/consulting gigs while I'm there on a tourist visa? Visiting SF would be impossible, I'm mostly restricted to Michigan and the trip is going to be 2-3 weeks max. Any other suggestions? Advice? I'm visiting after more than a decade (last visit pre 9/11), has anything changed significantly that I should keep in mind?
