It highlights that while clothing and used personal items can generally be brought in, exceeding certain limits may attract customs duties. Users mention that having a work permit may exempt one from certain duties and caution about the implications of bringing in larger quantities or items like electronics.

How much crap do you have? What can't be bought here? (US style can openers are difficult to find).
Also, customs has never checked my bags. I see some people bring in several HUGE suite cases, not saying they're Indian. I don't think anybody will care if you're bring in used stuff. Its when you try to bring in 12 laptops that things get difficult to explain.
