Check the house and the product
Confirm the retailer through the brand's official India channels and ask for the exact model, materials, invoice and written warranty terms. For high-value pieces, understand the repair intake process and where service is performed.
Jewellery needs precise documentation
For gold, diamonds, jade and coloured stones, obtain a detailed invoice identifying metal fineness, stone descriptions and any grading or laboratory report. Verify reports with the issuing lab and distinguish a seller's description from an independent gemological conclusion.
Consider use and storage
Heat, monsoon rain, dust and air-conditioning shape the care needs of leather, watches and jewellery. Keep sensitive pieces dry, check service access near home and ask about safe storage and cleaning for the exact material.
Cross-border purchases require a fresh check
For goods bought abroad or taken on a trip, consult current official guidance from the relevant customs authorities. Import rules and documentation depend on the item and circumstances; do not treat a tourist tax refund as a substitute for checking return-home requirements.
