Re: SMP system availability in Madras

["keky_uswest.net" <keky@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the quick response.  Assuming, that I want
to import it, do I need to get customs & excise permission
before hand about the exact configuration of the system or
can I ship the system thru FedEX, DHL and upon arrival
pay the customs tax ? Any idea about the tax % ? Is it
levied for the whole system or individual components ?

Thanks again for your courtesy and time.

Cheers,
Keky Robertson
