The customs will not seize items like motors, esc , flight controller etc.  Usually the items which get seized are radio transmitters. Do not worry, you can order them. Ask them to list the item as 'tools and hardware'

Also for shipping, only use 'air parcel registered'

Sorry to interfere but customs do open parcels.
Labelling transmitters as hardware does not help.

I told him not to order transmitter. For mentioning  as tools and hardware, i referred it to esc, motor, FC etc.

If you go over it carefully, it looked as if you were saying that they will get seized normally but if you label a tramsmitter as "hardware",  it may get through.
Theres a contextual mistake.  You should have put "dont worry" waala part before the "transmitter" waala part.
