Hi All, I am planning to travel abroad Malaysia/Vietnam and planning to buy a guitar which is currently not available in India. Price of guitar will be ~1.5 lacs. If I bring guitar on flight with myself for personal use, do I have to pay custom/tax on it? Do they stop people if they bring guitar with themselves?
Also, how will they get to know if I say if I even tell them that I took guitar with me outside India for performance and bringing it back now ? Not trying to break the law just curious to know.

Btw we don’t get high level of acoustic guitar in India, i tried reaching out to a lot of authorised dealers and that guitar is not available anywhere neither company is open to start exporting in our country. I currently have a good beginner acoustic, now want to upgrade.

No customs if you’re bringing it for yourself
