Answer 1 :
Your friend has to declare a value on the laptop. This is important for claims in case of non-delivery or due to damage during transit. Based on the value, GST will be levied. There is no GST if the value is low..
Answer 2 :
why spend money on a laptop when you can get it for free? just go to this site and complete a few quick tasks and they'll send you a sony vaio laptop at no charge
