Planning to ask my friend in US to bring nano drone (<249g) from me. Is it safe to bring it to India?
Few things to keep in mind are to unbox it and keep RC and battery in hand language and other parts in checkin baggage. Any other suggestions?

Planning to buy DJI mini 4k which is nano drone with < 249g weight. Getting it for 30k for fly more combo in black friday sake which is a good deal imo opinion.
I guess we can get a license for nano drone as well (but not sure if they ask for bill and it do, will they give license since the bill would be from US). @saradkamath35 Why would a 'proper' drone be better? Any concerns with flying nano drone like DJI neo or mini 4k?

Nothing too radical, apart from what I already mentioned.
(By way of concerns.)
To keep it under 250grams, one has to use polymers that are not so dense and even then, the battery powering the setup.. gives it limited range.. especially if one wants to take it up really high.
Since licence is not needed for it, the question of proof of ownership (invoice) does not matter (in India).
Not trying to get labelled (as) 'anti national', but in a country where cops themselves breaking rules like red-ligjt at a signal are not taken to task DESPITE everything being on surveillance cameras, who really bothers for licences for drone flying (even when legally required)!
(Foreign nationals are not allowed to operate ANY drone on Indian waters, soil. I do nor know about special permissions, but generally..only Indian citizens can operate such devices in territories under Indian command.)

But would it really be that much beneficial to have the drone travel from Shenzhen, Guangdong to Los Angeles to Nainitaal?
Wouldn't a Macau, Hongkong too.. be able to to ship it (all within Asia)?
The sub 250 grams thing is something the Divided States enforces (for flying a drone without having to take a licence).
Thus maybe the local law enforcement and the law makers themselves are piggybacking on the laws of D.S.
If okay with taking a licence or using it (illegally) without a licence.. (then) a 'proper' drone might be better.
(In adhering to the sub 250 grams guideline.. only so much battery back-up is available.)
