Dear SnSers
We have a very important information to share,

Onwards, Please refrain and advise the suppliers/vendors/websites purchased from in US/UK/China to strictly not mention the term “GIFT†on the Package or invoice.
As per Sec 13 we being Authorized Courier to clear the shipments, it has been strictly be informed to Us to educate Customers that only Bonafide Gifts and Sample from a person to Person is considered duty free up till value of INR 10000 as per Courier regulations of 1998
And not purchases made in foreign countries which are imported into India.
All shipments being carrying foreign transaction it’s bound to attract duty going further which has been informed to us by Assistant .Commissioner failing to comply with regulation there will be fine and penalty as per sole discretion of Customs.
So , all the process will be the same, the only request is not to mention GIFT on any packages purchased , this will ensure smooth clearance.
The above is applicable to all transport companies in India.
