Sorry for posting in this forum. This is the only forum I could remotely find after hours of searching on the Internet.

I am an hobbyist who is exploring Electromagnetic spectrum. I hold a Bachelors in Engineering. Procuring HackRF(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HackRF_One) was a long time dream, As I have financial stability now. I ordered one from aliexpress. I totally forgot that Radio Equipments are in Restricted list in India. I have explored Amateur Radio in my college days and didn't get a License, My bad.

Now the item is in Chennai Custom Office it seems. I am awaiting a letter from them.

Issue 1: I really need this beautiful piece of hardware and I am willing to pay custom duty too. I am pretty sure, they will not release the item, as I don't have any proper license.
Issue 2: Even if I show and willing to pay the fees, there is a possibility that, I will not get that Item and on top of that, I will be penalized.

I am completely lost, any inputs will be of great help.

extremely sorry for asking this question here.

What is the shipping method? If it is postal and the seller did not write radio on the package, there is a little chance of custom hold.

Hi, am not sure what the customs would do, but if you somehow manage to get a refund from aliexpress, consider ordering from these guys, no customs hassle

@newpg202 You are correct indeed. I ordered the basic version just the Development board. I received it today. No hassle. Buying without any antenna might have helped. Thanks a ton.


### Issue Resolved.
