Section 14 (1) provide following criteria for deciding ‘Value’ for purpose of Customs Duty :


Price at which such or like goods are ordinarily sold or offered for sale


Price for delivery at the time and place of importation or exportation


Price should be in course of International Trade


Seller and buyer have no interest in the business of each other or one of them has no interest in the other


Price should be sole consideration for sale or offer for sale


Rate of exchange as on date of presentation of Bill of Entry as fixed by CBE&C (Board) by Notification should be considered

The value of goods in india is irrelevant for the purposes of custom valuation. Thus if you purchased a lap top for Rs. 50,000/-, its value will be based on 50,000/- and not on 75000/-, which is price of same goods in india.
On this 50000 various exemption will be available, like depreciation if the laptop if used, baggage allowance, exemption if it is used by you in frutherance of your profession business etc.
