What Gifts To Buy From Usa To India

Gifts you bring back for your personal use must be declared, but you may include them in your personal exemption. This includes gifts people gave you while you were out of the country, such as wedding or birthday presents, and gifts you have brought back for others.

Gifts worth up to $100 may be sent, free of duty and tax, to friends and relatives in the United States, as long as the same person does not receive more than $100 worth of gifts in a single day. If the gifts are mailed or shipped from an insular possession, this amount is increased to $200.

You, as a traveler, cannot send a gift package to yourself, and people traveling together cannot send gifts to each other. But there would be no reason to do that anyway, because the personal exemption for packages mailed from abroad is $200, which is twice as much as the gift exemption.

If a package is subject to duty, the United States Postal Service will collect it from the addressee along with any postage and handling charges. The sender cannot prepay duty. The recipient must pay duty when a package is received in the United States.

Packing for any kind of travel is never an easy task and when you are planning for long-term international travel especially with a kid, it further complicates. Now that you have started planning to travel to the USA for long-term and your USA VISAs are stamped, you are about to start packing. You must be wondering what things you should carry to the USA from India and what you should not as it would be available in the USA itself. Some choices are hard, especially, when you are traveling with the family for a long-term trip for the first time. I understand that you will be worried about the luggage policies of the airlines and questioning, will it be enough. You must be doing all the calculations on how much KGs you should carry one item and how much the other. Well, I will help you with all your worries in this article

Before I delve into the details on the item by item checklist of things to carry to the USA from India, I will share a general tip which can be applied while making the trade-offs between the things that you will carry from India and things that you will buy in the USA. If you want to save money and avoid purchasing items in the USA at Rs 165 rate, then you should carry those items more from India that costs around or less than $1-2 equivalent. Most things in the USA will cost you about $1-2 for single quantity, so in India, you may get the entire packet of them at that price as compared single quantity of those items in the USA. Example, passport size photos, candies, stationary items, needles, binders, safety pins, etc.. So, if you are a student looking to save some money on stationary items, better carry them from India

In addition to it, if you are one of those who prefer custom-made clothing or items like suits, kurtas, kurtis, boutique items etc.., then you should bring them from India to the USA. Labour is quite costly here and hence, a tailor-made suit will cost much much as compared to India. So, take these couple of rules into account when choosing between the list of things to carry when you travel to the USA from India.

The first and foremost thing to get is good, durable and sturdy suitcases unless you have not got them. The luggage suitcases in the USA are comparatively much cheaper than what we get in India but it is about buying from India as of now. So, get the good and durable ones so that they last few trips back and forth.

You should also get TSA approved locks for the bags. Sometimes when authorities check your luggage, you may find the locks or even chains are broken/mishandled. If you have TSA approved locks, at least you give yourself some protection from it. There is no guarantee though that using TSA locks, you may not find them broken or mishandled. However, it is better than having non-standard locks on any given day.

Well, this is the first and foremost thing everyone recommends but they are heavy and take space. I will highly recommend that you compare the prices on Amazon first. If the prices vary too much and you have space available with you, then carry it from home else buy it after reaching in the USA only. I carried a small cooker, which helped a lot in initial days.

We could not find a good Indian style spices box having bigger containers to hold spices for more days here. Hence, I will recommend to bring it from India itself and stuff small items in its containers to organize and save space in luggage.

Those who are religiously attached, they must bring pooja material and pooja books as well. Such things are available in Indian store but if you can bring them from India, nothing like it.

Apart from Indian spices, I will not recommend bringing anything from India as most food items including Maggie, rice, pulses, flour, beans, etc.. are easily available in all Indian stores here in the USA. Nowadays, I see many of these items also available in the food stores like Giant or Wegmans as well.

After dental, eyeglasses, lenses and eye frames are quite costly here in the USA unless you have a very good vision insurance plan with you. It is wise to get a couple of your prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses from India including the spare ones. Not only they are costly, you may end up without eyeglasses for a week in case you are not having any spare one with you. So, DO NOT forget to carry an extra pair or two of spectacles.

You will find most of the clothes for regular casual and formal wear here in the USA at a much better price and acceptable quality. Hence, whatever you have with you, bring those along and rest buy clothes from here so as to blend into the current fashion of the place you will reside. Clothes are much cheaper in the USA as compared to prices what we get back in India.

You should bring at least a few pairs of ethnic Indian wear from India (especially for girls) including footwear, sarees set, suits, scarves/dupattas, sherwani, Pathani suits, etc... Whatever little variety you find here in the USA will be quite costly. Hence, as you stay long term in the USA, you will have plenty of functions or parties to attend to where you will need the ethnic Indian wear. So, make sure you bring them from India.

The makeup kits for girls including the branded ones from the likes of Estee Lauder, MAC, Clinique, Bobbie Brown etc.. are much cheaper here in comparison to India. So, do not waste money in India over them. Even perfumes or fragrances are much cheaper here in the USA as compared to India.

Do not buy any new footwear to bring them with you from India. Rather get whatever you have and once you are here in the USA, buy the footwear from here as they are much better and cheaper as compared to crazy footwear prices in India.

You should bring some undergarments with you for the next six months or so. It may take some time to get used to what is available here and find the right fits/sizes for you. Hence, best will be to get them from India and try out options here to find the best fit for you.

When you are traveling as a student to the USA from India, many of the suggestions for not bringing items from India to the USA may not be applicable for you. As a student, either you or your parents will be paying the money for these items which will get converted from Indian Rupee to US Dollar (1 x 65). Hence, it is important for you to evaluate which items in converted money is cheaper in the USA, what you will not bring and what all you can bring to the USA from India. Of course, it also depends upon the allowed luggage in the airlines you plan to travel to the USA from India. Someone who is going to work in the USA with a salary in USD, it still makes sense to not carry a majority of the items which are available in the USA at a relatively similar or cheaper value in comparison to what we get in India.
