Amazon.com gift card

[shredder]

I was fortunate enough to receive an Amazon.com gift card. I don't have an account on amazon.com and have never bought from there. Does anyone know whether the gift card can be redeemed against purchases made from amazon.in?

On a related note, how difficult/easy is it to purchase electronic items (like tablets and accessories) from amazon.com? Do they ship to India? And if they do ship, what about customs clearance?

TIA
