I am thinking of getting HiFiMan RE262 from headdirect. Lynxindia is the only registered dealer and after reading the stories up in TE, I am afraid I will order from there.

Sent a mail to headdirect and got this reply

The cost for our RE-262 is 149USd and 10USD shipping cost.

We declare a low value gift to help you pay less or zero tax.

Now I am a little confused about the less or zero tax thing. Can someone tell me how much I have to shell out for taxes ?
