My KYC issues is resolved and Approved. Hope you all have smooth process.

My Customs clearance is happening in Bangalore may be bcz the destination is Hyderabad.

same here. update now: Clearance processing complete at BANGALORE - INDIA

Mine is on the same status as above since morning. If it does not move from “Customs inspection” by EOD, hopes of getting it tomorrow are really low.

Shipment is held pending clarification of goods valuation. :frowning:

In this case who is the importer ?

In that case we might have a different amount for each person. Someone might be early bird and some might be without discount.

I think DHL should ask us to provide the invoice copy of the purchase/support. So they can produce the same and calculate the duty.

obviously we are importing this so it is us.

That is correct. Ideally the customs should be on the amount we paid for the device.

No, There should be an invoice attached with the shipment. We shouldn’t be the ones providing that to DHL/customs department. Just that we have to wait a bit more to get this sorted.

That’s not possible.

Does it matter to the customs inspector if the unit is a gift or reward or prize won?

i think only samples upto INR 10000 (115 EUR/130 USD) are exempt.

Here is something from DHL KYC website:

  • Import of goods including those purchased from e-commerce portals, where Customs clearance is sought as gifts will attract full applicable Customs Duty. Only Lifesaving Drugs / Medicines and Rakhi (but not gifts related to Rakhi) up to accessible value of INR 5,000/- will be exempted from duty.

  • Bonafide “Samples” upto value INR 10000 have duty exemption.

For me when i purchased an item from alibaba worth 7000 I got import tax of 700 INR.
