No need to question my reading comprehension, I just happened to miss that Souther had posted a reply to the thread amidst all the bickering going on.
At any rate, customs laws do not magically change just because an item is walked across a border instead of mailed. Now, would I personally go ahead and risk it... um, yeah. But I can't advise Souther to do something like that without knowing what sort of penalties/consequences exist in India for customs fraud. Maybe it's a no-big-deal sort of thing where you pay a fine or a "fine" and go on your merry way and maybe not. If Souther's brother is entering the country on an Indian passport and gets tapped for additional screening by customs, he could very well be charged import tax regardless of who the end user is.
