Sir I would suggest that you should try to contact customs Kochi branch by phone/letter/email .Ask them about the status of the parcel . What all was in the package ? These days transmitters and other 2.4 ghz devices are getting confiscated a lot .
Thank you. Just 2 LiPos and some accessories. I have dealt with kolkata customs commissioner. He thought that i was going to bomb with my quad.
It took time to convince him.

Yes. The total price was declared i.e. $79 + $12. The parcel contains 2 LiPos and some accessories. Nothing related with radio.

Re: Need help with customs
What kind of accessories , it would be better if you can give us the whole list .
Many kind of items can get confiscated depending on the customs officer . Eg foam Glue (he can think of it as a kind of blast material )

Then find contact detail of foreign post office at your city and approach them with tracking number. Mail other than express takes 20 to 25 days max to reach to destination

GPS word only make their antenna active
They dont think much.
I ordered one JR radio 3yrs back. they kept it aside and detain just because of a paper written warning about charging. So be prepared and deal with them softly. Dont argue with them and ask for solution.

Re: Need help with customs
So what happened to the radio ? Is it still detained ? Were you able to get your money back ?

Re: Need help with customs
Thank you for this information.
I have convinced them once.
http://www.rcindia.org/rc-general-topics/need-help-with-customs/msg195017/#msg195017
i have no idea why do they bother about these small sized parcels. if someone want to do 'something' it should not be a wise decision to ship them via international registered mail.

Re: Need help with customs
Well it's kind of important right now to limit the imports cuz the dollar to rupee conversion is 60.80
Let the terrorists have some low shipping rates also

I dont know if this is the reason then they never should have released the parcel that is worth maximum.
This is my last 3 hobbyking shipping details.
1) order placed:30th july shipped:30th july value: $ 93.17 delivery: Not received
2) order placed:7th august shipped:8th august value:$94.25 delivery:8th sept
3) order placed:11th august shipped:13th august value:$134.62 delivery: 25th august
Last one was received in just 12days.

Re: Need help with customs
This all happens . As I had mentioned earlier , it depends on the customs officer and his knowledge about the product

Re: Need help with customs
That one contained HKPilot Transceiver Telemetry Radio Set V2 (915Mhz). they missed it.
I called them again. they told me to ask the international mail center. but i was told kochi international mail center does not hold the inbound tracking details in the evening. It is available only in the morning shift. Confused.

Re: Need help with customs
That's ok , try tomorrow , but please try it near 10 only as 4:30 is the ending shift time of Lucknow customs ( not a 24hrs facility ) so I cannot be totally sure about the timings

Re: Need help with customs
I had no problem getting my items delivered from Hobby King (Order value 140$). I used DHL as the mode of shipping. They handle all the customs thingie from their end and present the bill at the time of delivery. A tad expensive but felt better than convincing the customs for clearance.
