Have myself exported "live" ie equipped airframes etc to India, (and back out again) when doing demos for Indian Army of small surveillance types. They wanted to be sure that batteries were in a seperate container,( they were not li-pos) otherwise no problem.You should establish the validity of the customer, ie "Not member of suspect organisation" and get them to forward to you copies of Customs inward clearance certificates, otherwise you could find yourself in deep kaki. Across the Indian border is Pakistan, across that is Afghanistan........There are R/C model aircraft clubs in India, especially in the Delhi area, there are several small firms making small UAVs, hopeful of orders from the military, and the Military already operate UAVs of different types, some homegrown and some imported ; one wonders why your customer doesnt support the local market?

doesn't work because the lower legal limit for GA aircraft is 500 ft. AGL.
The 400ft limit ensures 100ft of separation between us and them.

I don't like it either though
