RX195477161CH is my traking number. The ordered item is MI Box from Banggood.com.  Tracking tool says "2017-12-05 16:32 India, CHENNAI (MADARS) AIR, Record item customs information (Inb), Air, CHENNAI FOREIGN POST OFFICE, Retention Reason : Retained by customs for unspecified reason".

What is it? When can I expect? Please guide me.

Indian customs are now inspecting the contents of that package. They may contact you by email or through speedpost and may request some documents. However, in your case it seems they will not do so. They will impose custom duty on your package. The duty may be 50% to 300% of your paid price. Normally customs take 3-5 days in clearing a parcel but its odd they are taking so much time. Just wait and watch. If it gets later than 15 days, contact chennai FPO.

 before actual delivery can we know if custom duty is imposed on the order?

selvac

If the same MI BOX is available in lowest price, why should I buy this through Banggood.com and pay duties unnecessarily? I think it is waste of time and money. Better we can avoid such situations like buy goods through online from foreign countries.

Yes you can. Google about custom duties imposed on various articles by Indian Customs. However, don't rely on those sources. I ordered EEPROM IC from US. Many websites stated that I will have to pay about 30% duty but guess what there was no duty imposed. If there is any duty, it will be paid to postman at the time of delivery. Your best bet is to contact any relative of yours who is working in customs. That way things will go painless.

I ordered a MobileCase (Rhinoshields.io) for my OnePlus 2. The status on India Post is not updated since 15/12/2017. What should I do? Below is the tracking information

I would like to know where is the post? Is it in Bangalore Sub FGN Post Office or Kolkata Foreign LCAO?

I have sent multiple emails to the postal authorities and also took it to Twitter but there is no response what so ever the reason in!

I have no clue what I should do now!

Tracking details show that it is in Kolkata. But I feel it is in Bangalore.

That simply never works. Contact Bangalore FPO and Kolkata FPO by phone.





gundanitish

Excluding delivery it costs $10.

I did try to contact them over the phone but the number is always busy.

parthjai

Your price is well within limits. There can be many idiotic reasons why it is blocked for so long.
Maybe its all due to new year time or the tracking details are not being updated.
Better wait for 1 more week. Visit bangalore FPO if there are no updates.

gundanitish

Thanks for the info Parth.

So, I`ve visited Bangalore SUB FGN Post and they said, currently Kolkata LCAO is handliing heavy loads of posts due to which the delay is.

They haven`t guaranteed anything but they said, it might take another 2-3 working days.

P.S: I now see that the status is updated on Saturday that its in Bangalore SUB FGN Post. I`m assuming it might get delivered to me this week.

Aravind298

It is clearly mentioned as 'held by customs' .
What doubt do you have over it?
Give it a few days, and then check.

BTW, where have you ordered it from?

gundanitish

Got my mail just now. Post-man didn't bother to show up at my door step and just left it at the security desk.

Thank You everyone for the help :)

Now this thing sounds alarming. YOU WILL BE KICKED AROUND ALOT IF YOU IMPORT DRONES.
I feel you'll be required to present various certificates and evidences to make your way out if your package is marked as drone.
I have gone through tons of posts before about these drones. Based on that, you need shit load of patience and perseverance now.
Good luck!

This is the problem. Clearance from customs mainly depends upon the documents provided by the seller at the time of shipping. Thats why if you import anything via fedx or dhl, there's no custom hassle as they provide documents even before seller ships them.
Now the problem in your case is that seller marked a $227 item as $20 item. A simple xray scan should have revealed that its a mobile phone. They are going to impose heavy penalties. Around 300% ? Who knows.
On the other hand, it is possible that they may not even scan your package (because of that "gift" mark). In that case wait for atleast 2 weeks.
In any case you need to wait. Even if they impose penalty, you will be notified.

tk

i order a selfie drone for my personal use from aliexpress they shipped via china post and it reaches india without any problem when it reach custom they detained my parcel and i went to that india post custom office and submit written letter,drone specification,bank statement (to know the value of that product).even that drone fly only 40-50 feet.
