Quick Summary

When sending equipment for repair, especially if it's a used hospital item, you'll need to file an export shipping bill with Indian Customs. This bill must list all unique serial numbers of parts. Customs duty is applicable on the repair charges. If the equipment is returning to India for service from another country, you will also need to pay the relevant customs duty.
