    Well when i got my phone , i paid around Rs.750 for the tax
    what i did was i asked the person who sent the phone to put the value as law as possible for me it was $35 so less tax charges
    U will also need the certificate from the TRC its not difficult to take it as i got it in 30mins ...and if u are lucky may be u will get ur phone to ur home without any tax or custom clearance as once i did...( there were no charges from the TRC ...the custom duty i don't remember nw if u fallow the process as i told u it wont be much )
