machan ahuwenawamaida?
how do they identyfy it if its a phone...the packg is marked as gift ne...

Customs can open any package. If the package is plain or gift wrapped, there is a chance that they wont bother with it but that's a chance you will have to take.
If you really want to do this, try it out with a really cheap phone (Rs. 2000/- ) in plain packaging or gift wrap. If you receive that unopened and without tax, wait for some time and get the phone you want in the same packaging.
Oh, and when buying phones, make sure the thing works in SL. Phones from some countries doesnt work in SL due to difference frequencies that are being used there.

They dont tax it at the price you bought.They have their own price list for all items. They tax it according to that price.

if you are gettin it as a gift I sender must mention the amount of the gift,so from that customs get an idea or else you might need to provide necessary documents to clear ur package,

but I think the best method is to under value ur phone and tell the sender to send it in a cheap looking package(i.e refubished boxes) so even though customs open it up they wont bother into higher tax rates,

What is the ebay shop that you're buying from ? what's the URL ?
finding a reliable shop in ebay is a bigger problem than the SL customs!

just to know
think that we are bringing N95 for 30000rupees and the customs tells that the specific model is priced at 60000rupees,then do we have to pay just according to that price?
afaik they do it according to the price we get the product but for some products they have their own price listing

Ofcause!. We have to pay tax for the 60k price. If you argue, they simply confiscate the item and getting it out after that bigger hassle.

For all electronic items they have their own price list.

recently I have brought some electronic items to SL but I never faced to that situation,I just have to produce my purchase order and they taxed me according to that.

How did you get them in ? also what were the items ?

Like I said before, the best thing is to try it out with a cheap phone first and see. No point in getting all worked up without trying it first.
