Adding my 2 cents here. Last October, I used a Delhi based freight forwarder to import 4 Lego (knockoff) sets. Total weight was approx 7.5 Kg (little less) and cost I was given was Rs. 850 per kg incl customs and delivery to my home in Mumbai. The package took like a month to come (sea freight) but all came fine. This was before my cousin started going to China and through him I get legos (knockoffs) now whenever he goes.
But the importer did ask me for invoice (of alibaba) and asked me what all it is and I told him no original boxes will be there and he insisted me that I tell seller to put the instructions "in middle of the brown box" in which the 4 sets will come so it looks like plastic pieces only (which they are actually). Basically he was concerned I was not ordering something of brand (like nike etc) which can cause trouble to him.
The package did not appear opened at all. So I doubt if customs ever opened. I feel it may have been xrayed only or not even that given these importers would have some setting.

Is aramex part of SNS? In any case, what is their Per kg rate?
