I am from a country where crypto currencies are strongly legalized. I know about the hardware wallet security it's best for the long-term bitcoin holder. Now is there anyway to import a hardware wallet to any country where crypto currencies are illegal ?
And one more things I wanna know that how can I chose a best budget friendly hardware wallet? 

Things aren't as simply enforced as they sound. When you order something online from different countries, when they come at the borders of your country, they have to go through customs, through X-ray scanner and then the state-owned postal company will deliver it to you.
Even though if Bitcoin is illegal in a country, that doesn't mean that hardware wallets are illegal, it's like, THC is illegal but seeds are legal because they don't contain THC, they are legal till they grow.

But exclusively for you, let's imagine that hardware wallets are illegal too (which definitely aren't and can't be): First of all, customs should know how do hardware wallets look like, every custom should be informed about that in order to be able to detect it. Then, you have to keep in mind that customs receive so many items each day, they simply don't have time to check each of them, so, there is a chance that customs will probably miss your hardware wallet and you'll receive it without a problem. Then, you have to keep in mind that the thing that customs prioritize are guns, they mostly care about guns. When they check parcels, their priority is to exclude gun import in the first case.
So, even if hardware wallets become illegal, I wouldn't really worry if I were you. There is a very good chance that you'll receive your HW even if it's in black list.
