I believe India has about a 100 percent duty tax on all things imported into that country.
This protects the Indian industry and raises a lot of revenue for the Government but it also hurts the Indian people because they have to pay an arm and a leg for high quality items from other countries.
After reading this topic I looked for the duties charged by the US on Indian made goods without success.
A duty tax calculator for figuring out what would be owed to the US government for items imported from other countries did not even list India (although it did list a few dozen other countries I've never heard of).
Apparently India uses a open ended method of ordering a Royal Enfield.
If an Indian wants to order one he/she must get on a list.
The price apparently isn't "fixed" when the order is placed and the waiting list is about 7 months long.
Because Royal Enfield India raised their prices this year it resulted in orders placed last year costing the new owners hundreds of dollars equivalent in rupees more than the price was when they placed their order.
Talk about a crappy way to buy something.
