    Purchasing the **DJI Mini 3 drone** in **Canada** and bringing it to **India** should generally be smooth, but there are a few things to keep in mind: 1. **Customs Duty & Regulations**: - **Import Duty**: India imposes a **customs duty** (usually around 18-28%) on electronics like drones, so you may have to pay this when bringing the drone into India. - **Drone Import Restrictions**: India has specific regulations for drone importation, so ensure that your drone complies with the **DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation)** rules. The **DJI Mini 3** is typically allowed since it’s under the weight limit for recreational drones. 2. **Customs Declaration**: - When arriving in India, declare the drone to **Indian Customs** if asked, especially if it’s new and not used. This will avoid fines or confiscation. 3. **Carry or Check-In?**: - **Carry-on**: It’s safer to carry the drone in your hand luggage, as batteries (especially lithium-ion) have certain restrictions in checked luggage. 4. **Drone Registration**: - You may need to **register the drone** with **DGCA** in India for commercial use or specific operational needs (though it’s often not required for personal use). 5. **Packaging and Invoice**: - Carry the **invoice** for the drone and ensure it's **properly packaged** in case of inspection at Indian Customs. **Recommendation**: It’s a good idea to **check Indian customs regulations** and make sure the drone is registered for personal use. Also, consult with your friend about potential local warranties or support if you’re purchasing from abroad.
