Hello

I will be visiting India (as a Canadian Citizen) and planning to take Wii with me. Any body have an experience taking Wii/XBOX/PS2 etc if at the airport there is any custom problems? Any advice?

Please share
Thank you

Customs don't give that many issues as earlier these days, but all will depend on the time you land, how much stuff you are carrying w.r.t others who land that time and the officer... There is nothing spl abt video games.

Are you planning to gift the games to some one in India. PS2 (and probably others too) are region coded. So games bought in India won't work with player bought here and vice versa.

Thank you Viggy for your response. I will be giving it to my brother in India. He found out that there are sources in India which sell games of North America Region code, plus I will carry 2-3 with me. Do you think if the total of things that I carry with me is within the duty free limit (is it Rs. 25,000??) I should not really worry?

Thanks again

Multiple units always attracts many officers, but if that's all you are taking, you may not have any issues. Again, all depends on the officer... no hard and fast rule. Worst case, you may have to give 20-30$.

Ok, thanks so much. I will be taking only 1 unit, may be Wii
