A SIMPLE IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME
Indians today have a healthy appetite for international products but acquiring such products has not been easy; requiring a trip abroad, a request to a visiting NRI aunt, or an expedition to a gray market that offers products of dubious authenticity. Shopping online at international stores comes with its own set of issues - the few stores that do deliver to India charge exorbitantly for international shipping and have no notion of Indian import duties which are calculated and collected from the customer only after the product reaches India. All in all, an expensive, cumbersome process with the potential for a nasty surprise when import duties are finally assessed in India. 20North is dedicated to changing the rules of this game.
