Cheers, George W Russell Bangalore If the plan is to bring it to the US, a recent Wall Street Journal article said the US customs will ask if its a fake, and if so, confiscate it. If you claim its not a fake, they will want duty on its full retail price - far more in duty thatn what you paid, so screwed either way. |

As far as Mumbai goes, the OP could try the backpacker areas of Colaba and Apollo Bunder, the Pheroze Shah Marg area (near Ballard Estate) or around Crawford Market in the northern reaches of Fort.

In a case the US customs probe travellers' wrists (which I doubt), losing a watch worth a few pennies is not a big loss at all. Worth the "risk", I reckon. And naturally the street vendor gave you a receipt. No problems there. |

If you claim its not a fake, they will want duty on its full retail price - far more in duty thatn what you paid, so screwed either way. Either the WSJ is wrong or you misunderstood the article. Customs does not seize fakes if they are in single-unit quantities and for personal use. From the U.S. Customs website: "However, travelers arriving in the United States may be permitted an exemption and allowed to import one article of each type, which must accompany the person, bearing a counterfeit, confusingly similar or restricted gray market trademark, provided that the article is for personal use and is not for sale. "This exemption may be granted not more than once every 30 days. The arriving passenger may retain one article of each type accompanying the person. For example, an arriving person who has three purses, whether each bears a different infringing trademark, or whether all three bear the same infringing trademark, is permitted only one purse. If the article imported under the personal exemption provision is sold within one year after the date of importation, the article or its value is subject to forfeiture." http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/va...hte dArticles |

What's the reward? I can never understand the draw of a faked Rolax. Does it tell people how rich you are with a faked Rolex? It's not a good watch. I don't get it.
