    The seller has marked the item as gift and its value as 40$ but the real value is 160$.Does gift item required an invoice?
    Thank you

    You need to find out the customs procedures for India, as it will be completely different to those here in Ireland.

    I would imagine that you're about to get a bill, or they could well confiscate them for false declaration of value, or as counterfeits (which let's face it, they probably are if they were that cheap).
