About buying gold in USA
In the USA gold is usually quoted per troy ounce, and most jewellery is 14K or 18K. 22K jewellery is mainly sold by Indian jewellers in areas like Edison (NJ), Jackson Heights (NY) and Devon Avenue (Chicago).
Is gold cheaper in USA or India?
The raw gold price in India is usually higher than the international price because of India's import duty (15% since May 2026: 10% basic customs duty + 5% AIDC). So plain gold is often cheaper abroad. But making charges in India are frequently lower, and if you bring jewellery above the duty-free limit you will pay customs duty at the airport, which can cancel the saving.
Bringing gold from USA to India
Under India's baggage rules, a passenger resident abroad for more than one year can bring gold jewellery duty-free up to 20 g for men and 40 g for women, with value limits. Above that, customs duty applies. Rules change, so check the latest CBIC guidance before you fly. Read our guide: how much gold can an NRI bring to India.
