Now, I don't when should I expect delivery of my shoes and also how will I know if I need to pay any customs. Do I need to call customs?

It's the first time I'm hearing, Xiaomi sells shoes.

Have you asked to remove the BG logo during checkout?

Yes, Xiaomi sells shoes. They are smart shoes with a chip inside which tracks your steps and stuff like that. And I don't quite remember about BG logo. What are the consequences?

If the customs happen to see a BG logo, then I believe it will be confiscated; regardless of what's inside it. I'm not sure, but that's the most likely outcome. You should've chosen to 'remove BG logo' during check out.

Okay, Thank you! But how am I supposed to know if they have imposed any customs duty?

Duty is not to be worried about. It's pretty rare you'd get a bill. If you were to, it will be with the delivery man.

It's about the confiscation that you should be worried.

Thank you so much for the information Aravind!

@aravind298,
It is clear that you are trying to help.
But you are responding to queries about custom duty on shoes from a person who has declared being not into RC!
Even though this board is for non RC items, the members of RCI are mostly "into RC" guys.
I wonder how much this discussion is of interest to members in general.

Perhaps you could have advised/responded to the poster through a PM, and also told him that this is not the most suitable forum for such queries...

This is not a personal criticism, just an attempt by an old member to redirect focus back on to this forum's area of interest. Hope you won't mind.

Regards

Sincerely noted. I should've PMed the member. Personal apologies to all.

Whatever I had said applies to almost anything, which is too general. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.


Peace

22.Self-balancing boards (hoverboards)

43.Self-propelled vehicles

I'm not sure if they're banned to be imported. Drones, can actually be imported, legally, if you're able to provide sufficient proofs.
I've cleared drones for personal use, by my forwarder. No big deal. And that's totally legal

Hi!
I too know that they can be imported to India with paperworks.
And those paperworks are hard to acquire, I have heard.
And yeah, i have bought a Self-balancing board from Dubai without any problems, no one even asked!

But the info I have posted is from a website and its says its according to the import laws.
I don't know much about it, just trying to help

Sure! You're doing a great work buddy!

I think they should totally allow importing drones etc ( maybe they can tax it...it's a good revenue source for the govt too)...
After importing people should be made responsible for how they use it.
I mean here it is the other way....
People often fly irresponsibly ( I am guilty too,) in public...
And you can buy drones here in india if u pay a premium....

So basically there is no point in stopping people from importing.
Allow importing.
Make flying responsible. Until that happens...I am just gonna have to look at mouthwatering deals on h.k and turn away

And let's be honest by saying make people responsible for what they do ...
I simply mean...
Allow me to import airplanes....
Now mind Ur own business and leave me alone😂😂😂

I think with the help of the Rc India forum, we can maybe bring a change in this!
What about doing it?
We just would be requiring mass support and a bunch of reason!






Cheers!

Dear sir,

I ordered a mini drone from wish.com,it have reached in india on time but i think parcel held by custom,status showing,record item information,ced letter to delhi FPO.so what i need to do?,they will send me a latter or i should have to contact them?

Quote from: xlentballu on February 27, 2018, 10:50:49 AM
so what i need to do?

Preferably, nothing. Sit back and enjoy

Should've visited the forum before purchasing.
Sorry for being rude.

So you mean my monet gone? :banghead:and we can not do anything?😳😳,this is how mera bharat mahaan?😆😆

Yes. Your money is gone.

You can very well stop making a pun of India, as well.
It was clearly your mistake that you didn't care to understand the rules & regulations surrounding the usage of Drones.

I, very well, welcome their step of confiscating 'illegal' drones
