Hello Aman,

Might I say I am quite impressed by the Mumbai FPO customer care office. Picked up the call and gave me the information needed.

According to them it has cleared customs and will leave for Pune in 2-3 days. the Kolakata Airport Office is only because they send some confirmations there.

Hello rammy,
Well First of all if you see its send to Domestic Lication So No Problem you will get in 3 to 5 working days.But if you dont mind can you please tell me what item it wqs then i can say that duties will be charged or not? ??Well now as Its EMS there are chances that duties may get charged.Now so dont worry in just 1 to 2 days what you can do is track the parcel at Domestic Tracking that Is Indian Post Website so you can get to know where your parcel is.and yes while telling the item can you please tell me its price too.
Regards,:)
Aman.

Hey aman thanks for replying, it was a tablet from aliexpress.com costing 96$ and 34$ for EMS shipping, and i dont know what does the seller marked it as, and i tracked it on domestic ems tracking its showing retention for inapropiate invoice, thats why i am confused,

Well now as the item is sent to domestic location there can be customs charges and i think seller marked the price ver low thats why customs caught it.Well dont worry you will soon receive it and if you had to pay any customs duties then just update it here that how much you paid? ??But i hope that you dont get charged any customs  duties
Regards,
Aman.

I hope i dont have to pay any duties, if i have to i will update here, thanks for helping aman

I hope that too you dont have to pay any duties and you receive it soon
Regards,
Aman.

Hello Aman & friends,

Is there anyone here who has refused to accept the delivery after parcel is charged with high duty ?? What is the next step post takes,
Do they return parcel to sender
Do they send back to customs

Kindly share ur experience.

Hey Buddy,
Well After Returning the Parcel they Send back To The Sender Address.It Usually Takes Some time to Go Back and second thing It Does not go to Customs as Its come as Cleared from Customs.
If you have send back a parcel just Inform The seller and he may refund you the amount paid for the product.
Regards,
Aman

Is it SJCAM Wifi Version ?

Yes

Then you will require a WPC NOC(or ETA) as it contains a wireless system

The word WIFI in the invoice may be the problem.

Is there any way I can pay some charges and release the parcel from costumes.
