Re: Need help with customs
yes
or if you want to ship a bigger package ask the seller to declare only 20% and ship through fedex
nil or hardly any custom duty will be charged

Re: Need help with customs
accept it
no choice
you will rather spend more money and time arguing with fpo and customs and 90% they dont agree
if its a bigger duty its still worth it

Re: Need help with customs
hmm! that's a shame, so it's like the law of customs only applies on us , not the custom officials! even if it's mentioned on there site below 2k is free of charge

Re: Need help with customs
well i ordered 68$ parcel frm hk
i was charged 2k custom duty on it !!!!!
i kenw a very reputed officer contacted him told explained him wt had happened
he told me nothing can be done
my dads an importer
when he imports stuff (everything is wholesale like 1000pcs per box)
when he recieves the boxes minimum 10 pcs are stolen by custom officials
and its normal
the officer himself calls and says i have kept 10 pcs myself
and you cant say anything or else they will seize your next parcel ...............

Re: Need help with customs
yes! last time I ordered worth 2.8k and the officer said if it was below 2k then if was duty free but as it's 2.8k then I have to pay 41% and I shouldn't argue on that!
now as my package is below 1k, the officer says not even Rs50 worth item is duty free! See how they change there words!

HobbyKing won't mark the shipment as gift or under value the shipment till you become Gold member.To be a gold member you have to place more than three order.

Re: Need help with customs
Not only in customs these thing happens in all government body.
We starts every thing
Example
to get anything process fast we are mentally ready to pay more then we can't blame them.
Here local hobby shop sell double to triple time the cost but we are ready to pay.

Re: Need help with customs
The system is corrupt not an individual
Cz to become an custom officer they have to bribe or they are not opted or passed in the exams
After bribing and going through all this their mentality changes money is the only law......

For 1k shipment 200 duty means 20% they have charged.I would have accepted the parcel.

Re: Need help with customs
@moorthy! It's not the money! actually I paid 680 total for the parcel but they have written 1k the parcel price! It's like paying 10k and paying customs for 20k! should I still accept?

Earlier for getting it done fast we need to bribe, but now for even getting it done we have to bribe. My humble opinion.

@Chintal
Its not like that these customs has target for collection of duty per month.
Your parcel will be around 2k and they charge duty next will be a politician parcel around lakh but they won't charge because the customs officer will be transferred in week.

Re: Need help with customs
@tej
Keep track on who paid duty regularly,Retained shipments
In customs portal just typing your details gives complete data of any retained or confiscated shipments of yours and how many shipments you have paid duty previously.
The shipment without duty won't be available.

Re: Need help with customs
hk has started using sing post from few months now and lot of people are having problem with it. You get options when using shipping. registered $23, china post 25$, and registered 13$, depending on weight but if you chose through very cheap register option then they mostly send through sing post! it's better use 25$ option than lower. That's what I have experienced!
