But It Says Its For B2B Consignments and Not B2C in which most of us fall.

Don't go by hearsay. You can check the exact duties at the link below. You will need the tariff code. For example, in case of mobiles, it is 85171211. You can select China as the country for most cases.
Also, I get my stuff at Mumbai customs and over here, the items are duty free if their valuation is below 2000.

Unless you have a import export license, all imports will be classified as personal imports with transaction value.
I think that B2B footnote is for the health cess - look at the placement of the asterisk.
For B2B imports, the tax is as per tariff while it is 42% for all personal (B2C) imports. Also there will be heath cess on B2B imports.

How do I find DashCam HS code?
As @JMP mentioned, personal imports have a different classification compared to trade imports. I believe the following two apply to imports by post or courier. Also, another option is to check the import price to India from Amazon.com for any item in the category you are looking at.

Appears chinese are boycotting us more sincerely:
China back as India's top trade partner, despite govt's 'atmanirbhar' push
Total imports from China at $58.7 billion were more than India's combined purchases from the US and the UAE

I've bought numerous orders from Ali and directly from sellers too , right now they are not sending any parcels to India unless you deal directly with few sellers and over that the order amount should be atleast $10 worth

Shipping charges are back to normal via special line but still cards are not accepted. dont know about direct sellers
Any updates guys? Did anything change?
So can we place orders?
How's your experience been?
Anyone looking to buy stuff from China should try Ebay. The catalogue is not great like Ali but it is better than nothing. I have recently purchased an item from Ebay and it reached me in 45 days but the delay was from China post. Once it arrived in India, it took 10 days to reach my place, custom clearance was done in 2 days. All information on the packet was written in Chinese and English both and country of Origin was mentioned as China so it is clear that our customs are not holding parcels originating from China. A few sellers may not be willing to ship to India but most do. Ask a seller before you order, sellers are very responsive on Ebay. Even Items with batteries are okay.
did you pay any duties?
No, duty depends on the declared value of the parcel in most cases unless the parcel is big or has something electronic. Declared value was $8 in my case. I think the taxable limit is RS 1000 in India.

Is this eBay.com? It has Chinese sellers as well? I somehow thought it had only US sellers.
