There are scams at every single level in the Indian system. Everybody wants a cut and some extra to do their job. It is maybe one of the worst places to manufacture in the world. I know Apple needs to diversify but Vietnam and other such countries might be a better fit. The work ethic is severely lacking in India.
- randcraw 4y agoSimilar difficulties pervade the supply chain as it passes through India, where intermediates expect to 'take a taste' of the product's value. Just try to personally carry new electronics into the country without greasing a palm or two.
- solarmist 4y agoNot sure how this could apply to Apple. They’re ruthless in their supply chain costs and tolerances.
- jhatax 4y agoHow does your personal experience with carrying new electronics into the country apply to broader supply chain difficulties? You don’t have to “grease a palm or two” to carry new electronics into the country if you are willing to pay the lawful customs duty / tax. As you cast aspersions on others who might be corrupt, please think about your collusion / readiness to bribe and what that says about yourself.
- blntechie 4y agoIf you are within customs rules, you don't have to pay anything. Else pay the right duty based on the original invoice you should be carrying with you. I have taken TVs, laptops, iPhones, game consoles and have never been bothered by customs.
