I have a question re shopping/customs at each entry on a multi stopover trip.

Itinerary: - Australia to China (5 days) - China to India (5 days) - India to Australia ( Connecting flights via China but no stopover)

If I buy things in China, stopover, do I have to pay duties and taxes in India as well as when I return to Australia? In general would I have to pay in every country of the trip?

There is no material difference between a stopover and a normal visit. When you arrive in India, Indian customs rules apply regardless of whether you bought the stuff in China or in Australia or whether you arrive via China or directly from Australia.

Same thing if you return to Australia: Australian custom rules apply regardless whether you bought the stuff in India or China.
