I think this was expected, many of the serious members here, literally repeated many times to not order transmitter from Banggood :(

Okie can you provide me a solution for this, how to get the item cleared from the customs

Thank you

How to get item cleared is beyond scope here but...  ...... Presently get ready to receive the Letter from the customs , basically a show cause notice demanding your reason for importing a banned item and further to show them the NOC from the WAP/WPC ,  .......   Its generally a good idea to inform the folks at home beforehand to expect the legal notice so they dont freak out.

And also to add to what @pnkyjs has said... Recently heard that the customs have started sending legal notice not only to confiscate the item but also to start some sort of criminal proceedings against the importer. Don't want to scare you but just stating what I have heard.

Previously they just used to confiscate only.

Previously, they also sent back to sender the banned item. So we got our money back.
