I am looking to buy Amazon Kindle Touch WiFi from Amazon.com and have it shipped to India. It says it costs $139 for the international version.

What I want to know is that , is that the total amount I have to pay ? I mean I had bought Jtag kit from consolesource.com which is a Canadian website and had it shipped to India. It arrived via ordinary India Post and I had to pay around Rs.600+ as the duty and stuff eventhough I had paid the price + shipping in the website itself. So I want to know whether the same is applicable with Amazon also.

I had contacted the customer support and they told $139 is the final amount. But I am still not 100% convinced.

If anyone here has experience buying from Amazon please help.

Thanks

if CC said then it is final price. Go ahead and place order.
even if they charge extra, I think the fees should be max Rs.1000/-
