I had enquired with Amazon.com about customs, the ensured it will be cleared 100%.
There is a price difference of about 13k.
do you see any reason still not to import it from US and buy it locally, apart from waiting times and warrenty?

If warranty is no issues, then you can go ahead and buy from US...

warranty doesn't apply if I bought from other country?

Wait for the 1080 release and watch prices further reduced for 980ti. Or better yet, get the 1080 founders edition.

Try doing the math for GTX 970. GTX 980 Ti is too overpriced in India.
