pls help me guys

Answer 1

You'll have to pay the customs in India - that's when you'd go through immigration/customs.  And the fee is paid to India - not to the US.

Of course, you could simply unpack the speakers, and claim they aren't new and so, aren't subject to customs anyways.  My foreign friends would do this with laptops all the time.
