FYI Akcopter, 2.4ghz is "license free band", which means you can use the frequency but the equipment you intend to use needs to be "Type approved". If the product is not Type Approved, then you are required to inform WPC and obtain Type Approval from WPC.You can read more at
http://www.wpc.dot.gov.in/faq.asp#4
They are doing nothing wrong by inspecting and withholding your item for the lack of type approval. Thats what they are paid to do! And you are trying to pay them more and asking them not to do what they are supposed to do!
Method to obtain type approval has been given on the WPC site.
And please refrain from using such uncivilized language, because it is not going to get your parcel delivered.
Hi I completely agree on that count...I am sorry for my language..I was just frustrated as I had just gotten off the phone speaking with a customs office worker using language which is can't be called civilized either....but there is no excuse for what has been done..... I shall be more careful in the future...... one thing I want to highlight is that over the past 8 weeks there has not been one customs officer who told me that I needed a type approval....I would most likely oblige and get such things done if they require me to....now what I want to know is that if such a type approval is required every time I order a rx/tx or is it a one time process??
And thanks for the help by the way...

Re: Need help with customs
Hi Aman...
all I want is for us to stick together and form some sort of an organisation so that we don't get bullied and pushed around just because paranoid (poorly informed) people think that we are going to use legal tools to do something illegal just because they don't have access to such resources....I am not talking about lawyers just right now....although that's got to happen some day or the other eventually.... but first we need a face for the aviation enthusiasts and electronics hobbyist of India saying that what we do is completely legal and within the purview of that law and that we are not something people are supposed to be paranoid or intimidated off, just because we are different and can do things they did not think were interesting enough for them to do........what I am talking about is educating people and fighting with their mental state of paranoia...and not fighting with their ego's...

Re: Need help with customs
Hey guys is it possible to ask the customs guys to remove the receiver in question from the consignment...and ship the remaining order to me....I got a same new receiver this morning courtesy FedEx.....so now I can let that rx go waste and let them play with it as long as they want....

Re: Need help with customs
No you cannot send some items back and take some of them from a single shippment. Either you accept it all or return it all.
And your tracking detail shows the parcel was shipped on 4th Dec, and reached India on 10th Dec and was forwarded to customs where it is "Awaiting presentation to customs commissioner" since.
Yet you told us earlier that your parcel has been stuck for 8 weeks?Are we talking about some other shipment here?
Moreover, no need to get type approval until they ask you to do so.I have not seen any one in this forum who had to get it(other than LHS maybe), so you would be probably the first one to do so.
So right now best thing to do is wait, talk to those people politely and get your parcel rather than cussing .If luck runs out then return the parcel altogether and reship them via fedex or whatever your choice is.

Re: Need help with customs
Also what if they send the parcel back??
I don't think HK is entitled to resend my order free of cost by some other mode of shipment...
Moreover They may also charge me for sending the shipment back...
..and if something like this happens with the above order is paypal entitled to refund my money....
Because in all possibility I am bound to lose money in any case...as these guys have the power to do so

Re: Need help with customs
If your parcel gets HELD at customs office, you'll receive a letter from them regarding the same. If you dont receive any communique within 30 days, you can file a LOST PARCEL complaint with HK and see what happens. You can even file an RTI addressed to the Commissioner of that Customs office...

I had received a show cause notice from them....citing their reservations when it comes to a remote controlled plane in the order .....I replied saying that I am going to use it for educational purposes and not for any commercial reasons......no stimuli since then ...

.....Woah!! thanks for this post man...so now it's confirmed that we are dealing with a bunch of poorly informed fools....and now I am thinking that even if I could somehow get them to remove the receiver in question from the package they would still insist on a NOC for the bloody foam plane which can't transmit or receive a darn thing by itself ....I was almost beginning to think that I was alone.....by the way is it possible to hire some sort of a customs clearing agent and get the package cleared ?? Has anyone tried that..? There are a number of companies offering services when it comes to customs clearance....I found one in Mumbai itself

an rx shouldn't cause an issue... a TX may, but an rx? that's odd

Re: Need help with customs
WPC NOC and type approval is required for the transmitter/receiver used and this is a statutory requirement for clearance of transmitter/receiver used in toy helicopter/aeroplane/ other articles. A public Notice to this effect has been issued by the Commissioner of Customs (Import). You have to take the item to the WPC office under Customs escort and obtain necessary NOC.Then only the item can be assessed and cleared. It is always advisable to follow the instructions given on the reverse of the CN 23 Customs Declaration Form ( see Google search) at the time of booking for the rapid clearance of the parcel.
SUPDT. OF CUSTOMS (P)/PAS
this is the email I received today..this is a result of me asking them if I need some clearance for the rx...and also to my query about a government organisation which can certify the legitimacy of my Rx.

Re: Need help with customs
But if you do pay they can get it cleared isn't it....I don't care about that trifling amount....just tell me the name of that guy or organisation ...I will get it cleared....I feel secure when I control the fate of my consignment...I can never and will never prefer poorly informed individual's calling shots on things they don't understand....

On Contacting WPC, They tell me that they do not issue any approvals in this matter....They tell me I should either send the parcel back to sender or just forget about it all together. I am in a big fix as to what my next step should be!!!

Re: Need help with customs
There is only one solution for your problem i.e., money. Just show the smell of 2 or 3 big notes, they will release it immediately, by keeping all the rules aside in dust bin. They are the highly corrupted government employees. I heard that they are taking lakhs of rupees for small size containers and releasing them.
