I just googled "Mumbai FPO" and was going through the search results. Then the word "Airgun" was eye-catching. Opened the link and found this:
http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1003It's basically
India's largest guns, shooting & outdoors community.
In the thread above, they discussed about negotiating with the customs guys during import of GUNS!!! (Of course, with a license).
I was stunned after reading post# 2. Someone imported a .117 air pistol via post (source-country not mentioend) that costed $345 !!!. He says that not a penny was charged as customs duty!

and even says
"Customs will inspect it and politely send it to your house".
How is all this possible???

Can we all call them the real heroes in negotiating with customs dept.?
