Seller in USA is sending laptop via USPS to India. I've already paid him online

Seller in USA is sending laptop via USPS to India. I've already paid him online. Any other charges?
I bought a laptop online and they are going to send it via USPS to India. I have already paid shipping charges. What additional charges will I have to pay? And to whom? Will my laptop be held ransom at customs until I pay those charges? I have heard horror stories about customs in India and don't want to be a victim here. I already spent all my money on the laptop and don't have any extra to pay customs. Please help...

Your laptop will be "held ransom" at customs, why would you think they would make a special exception for you? Not.

Answer 1 :
Yes
Answer 2 :
Why not? Their Internet? I am currently using my Hp laptop from USA in South Africa. The only problem you might have is the power adapter. I don't know what the voltage in the Philippines but in South Africa is 220v and in America is 110v. So I had to buy a universal AC adapter.
Answer 3 :
Yes, but make sure you power connection is compatible with their (I know Germany is different and you need to use a converter for it to work).

Answer 1 :
Both are the same, because parts for USA made are made in China. Most motherboards are made in a factory in China, hard drives in Singapore, cpu in Singapore and cases in China.
Answer 2 :
absolutely no difference. Their parts are still imported from other neighbouring countries. The CPU will most probably be made in Malaysia, the RAM is probably made from Japan/Korea and the motherboard is probably made by Compal from Taiwan. Wherever you buy these laptops from, and wherever they say it was assembled it, it doesn't really mean anything different. A laptop that was "Assembled in USA" is identical to one that was assembled in China. The parts still come from elsewhere. Just so you know, Compal Electronics (Taiwan) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compal_Electronics is Dell's main client in the production of laptops and notebooks, as are a lot of other companies like Acer, HP and Toshiba.
