It means they are gonna charge you customs duty, you'll need to wait as they figure out how much to charge you.

How they will communicate? By giving any letter or postman will carry the slip during delivery?

No it does not mean they will charge you Customs duty. They may or may not and it depends on the assessing customs officer. In my two recent consignments they did not charge any customs duty.

"Awaiting presentation to commissioner of customs" is a normal process when the postal dept. sends packages to customs for assessment. It took me upto two weeks for this status to change:

Date   Time   Office   Event
25/05/2016   21:45:27   Kolkata (ex Calcutta) Exchange Office (INDIA)   Article Bagged
25/05/2016   21:32:37   Kolkata (ex Calcutta) (INDIA)   Custom Office Received
07/05/2016   18:57:27   Kolkata (ex Calcutta) Exchange Office (INDIA)   Custom Retention Reason: Awaiting presentation to customs commissioner
05/05/2016   00:05:53   Kolkata (ex Calcutta) Exchange Office (INDIA)   Sent for Customs Verification
04/05/2016   22:54:04   Kolkata (ex Calcutta) Exchange Office (INDIA)   Article Received
28/04/2016   12:29:00   Singapore Exchange Office (SINGAPORE)   Article Bagged

If they call you for any clarification they will send a memo through postman. If they impose duty then postman will bring the item or ask you to contact the local post office and after you pay them the duty, they will hand over the goods.

Still there is no update after 26th May 2016.Tracking no RS505682755NL.
No communication letter/ phone call received so far from customs end.
Shall I wait some days more for customs clearance?
If there is any phone no available for Kolkata Customs kindly share.

I think this is normal. From 7 to 25 I had no update. Yours is there for only 11 days.

Be patient, it will be updated in due time.

Dear all,

99 % your parcel is held by customs.

I have received my parcel on Saturday 18/6/2016. Duty paid: Rs.4047.

Which stuff? How much price stuff?

It is MI5 mobile 64GB black. purchase price 500$.

is there any way to know how much customs charge if applied to my parcel before the delivery of
my parcel,according to tracking-my parcel cleared the customs in two days..and sent for local
post office now.can it be checked online,contacts etc with reference to parcel track number,thanks

posting same thing in three topics? Puh lease

could anyone tell me when will it come?

Today only received my mobile. Singapore post rocks, no custom duty.

I ordered a couple of stuff from Banggood.. emax motor + ESC , naze32 FC, and a damping board. I changed the name of flight controller to "project development board" and asked them to put the total price to 20$ from the original 82$. After reading all the custom related sections here I'm getting tested whether even my stuff will get stuck. So far it hasn't reached India.

Will it be a problem?

Also how do I get lisence to import RX? I wanted to buy a fs-iA6B reciever from banggood which is 800rs..

I have had good experience with banggood packages. I dont see any apparent problems with the details you mentioned.
BG marks packages as "commercial samples" by default thats the only problem area. You will need an IEC to get it cleared in that case

Whats IEC? How do I get it?

Import Export Code - Theres lots of information on this forum and generally available. Search around for it.
Its not a big hassle to get the code

Please guide me what should I do?; As no status change since last 10 days.

I have no idea where is this packet right now; in customs or in FPO? What they mean by CED Letter? And what's the difference in between Delhi FPO and DMC New Delhi?

Should I wait or contact to someone?

Thanks.

apparently my parcel kept falling out of the bag..lol    Damn chinese...

 

Hi Guys,

I have ordered MI PAD 2 + case worth ($291-original price) from sp4mm3r.com, since the actual price which had paid was $291, but they provided the invoice stating the total amount of the product was $19.
I had a word with them about this price declaration($19), but they said that it is just to avoid custom duty.
So, my question here is will it cause any problem for me (Note: It seems it already reached chennai customes and I'm unable see any updates from past 4 days).
How long do I need to wait in order to receive this parcel?
