- the same was in possession and use abroad by the passenger for a minimum period of one year and also subject to the condition that such firearm, after clearance, shall not be sold, loaned, transferred or otherwise parted with, for consideration or otherwise, during the lifetime of such person.
AND - the firearms can be allowed in such cases on payment of applicable duty provided the passenger has a valid arms licence from the local authorities.

I understand import of a used motorcycle to India is subjected to 105% duty where as a new one is charged at only 30%. I intend to bring a two year used Motorcycle which is registered in my name on TR and advise how much should I shell out at the Customs.
i want to bring airgun to India from Germany. I want to know is it allowed or not??
i want to gift air pistol and air riffle to my nephew in india..can i do so? if there are any regulations for the same pls let me know..thanks.
An air rifle is not considered a firearm. one with .177 can be imported without any trouble (.22 too but may go through additional scrutiny).
Being a member of a shooting club in India helps.
