Hi,

I have never imported anything from outside(india) via courier services , so i dont have much knowldege about the same , what i would like to know is uptil 10k if we mark items as gifts do you people clear the customs without any custom charges or custom charges stll aply
 
Well ,

very nice initiative to start this thread :)

now i would advise you to make a table with the item and the duty charged .

and we can confirm , correct , add more to the list as we buy stuff from the outside .

for eg i am planning to buy a razer mamba from US , i will post how much duty i am charged and you can update . For example :: GAMING MOUSE -- 17% (customs) + 2% (Tax on customs) =17.34% .

and so on for as many items as possible .

Till now i can confirm that mobiles are charged 1.03% (have already got three) so you should update about the mobile thing .

Thank you

and once again

Nice work :D

2) For goods with a value less than 10000 INR, we proactively mark as gifts and try a duty free clearance, however cannot promise the same, as it is subjective

Now this is a nice initiative... I understand that this cannot be guaranteed & there are fair chances that a duty might be levied even if its marked as Gift. But this raises another question which includes the mode of payment I had asked in other thread.

  1. How should one order (the complete procedure)
  2. Specifically what modes of payment are acceptable
  3. Payment should be 100% or a lesser value
  4. Finally in the event that the custom clear the consignment as gift even though buyer paid the advance including custom duty then what is the next step for that partial refund
 
1) you can order from any U.K , U.S , CHINESE websites and give our addreeess to the supplier according to the country he resites.for exaple if you are ordering from amazon and that's a U.S website, then you have to provide our U.S address. the supplier will forward the shipment at our office and we finally deliver to the destination.
2)you can pay online through your credit cards or use pay pal
3)payment should be made 100 %
4)customs is not being paid in advance as , the shipment may clear duty free and if its not cleared duty free then we pay it on your behalf and we charge it at the time of delivery.
