i have explained everything in detailirfanlai said:
what do you want to know
ask specific questions
I have purchased
Seagate FAT+ from seagate US
2* watches (one amazon & other Newegg )
Davidoff Cool water 3.4oz Men amazon
others which i dont recall right now
Recently learned the hard way when duty of 550 was taken on a Remington hair straighter of 800
Customs assessed it of 2000
Has got it through aramex and gave a big surprise to me
Best option with ICC is
First take a quote through their website
http://www.shopabroadonline.com/onlinecalc.asp
save it
then ask for a duty free quote
you will be surprised that it will be higher than normal duty paid quote
mail them and call them and haggle
If you ordered before and quote asked is expensive like watch or above $ 70/80then they might give you further reduction in shipping cost
try it out you will know what i am saying
reps and likes are always welcomedr.sankhadeep said:

The shipping charges will be - $16 + 17% fuel surcharge + 10.3% service tax.

First of all, thanks for jotting this down for us. Though I have a couple of questions:kuduku said:
1. By filling the form we are giving all the CC details to ICC world. In practicality the CCV number. Is this safe. Since the order is a once type use. Also we do expose our CCV number to vendors when they swipe it. Any other way it can be misused.
2. When this PDF mechanism is used. What other charges are levied on the buyer. Usually is it ONLY the shipping..? Which would be volumetric weight.
3. After how long do they tell you that the authorization form has been honored and the debit went through.
4. How many of these type of purchases you have done.
5. An minimal $$$ amount cut-off limit.
Reason I am asking these questions, cause it opens up most of the US retail outlets for shopping, but at the same time exposes our CC details.

I've been using ICC World for quite sometime and never knew about the Duty Free part. Thank you Kuduku for the info. I requested for duty free quote yesterday as per kuduku's post but yet to receive it.
1. This is my primary concern as well. Will it be possible to give a Virtual Credit Card from HDFC for this purpose? Or will they be able to charge only a physical card?
2. I guess they would charge the full cost of item + shipping to India in USD itself so the exchange rate will be much higher too. ( Bank surcharge etc )
