A Perth District Court judge has jailed a 24-year-old Indian man for at least six months for importing child pornography.

Ranjiv Ponniah was stopped by Customs officers at Perth airport in January after he arrived from Singapore.

A search of his luggage located more than 200 images of child pornography.

He pleaded guilty to importing child pornography and was jailed for 12 months and fined $6,000.

He will be eligible for parole after serving six months.
