[Question] DHL India charges for incoming international shipping.

[Abhishek Shukla]

I have a shipment coming from China (Alibaba). What are these charges apart from import duty and taxes? I would like to know if other have paid these. I have gone through the basic explanation for these, but they still seems excessive for something "costing" rs 5000.

Note for MODS : Please move the thread to appropriate forum if required.

All courier does even Fedex which I say is the worst recently paid custom duty around 23k for a purchase of item Indian Rupees 57k.

I have bought items upto Rs 2k-3k from China many times, never had to pay any of these charges before. The delivers for those were made by DTDC and India post though.

Last month I purchased from Alibaba and it was around 36$ so I paid around 2k custom duty.

Doesn't matter what country it comes from. Items shipped via FedEx and DHL will cost a lot in the name of disbursement fee and IGST.

Here's a break up of an item costing 10k is costlier by 50%.
