Congrats OP u are lucky I feel ...

Please let us know what really helped n clearing out the package, I have one stuck since the 14/05/2015  and will be destroyed soon,
FedEx link: https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?action=track&trackingnumber=638290825742&cntry_code=in

Hobbyking refuses to help, says they can't recall it.
They require and NOC from WPC...I have sent them everything else  KYC etc but now
they require this which ofcourse i am not able to provide.


I would be happy just to recover any amount from this. Have already written it off unfortunately.

What are the goods in it? Actual value? declared value? and how big the box is? and how many boxes (if any)?

1 box 3.5Kgs, 11x6x19 in.

Earlier I have got in Lipo from Fed Ex without an issue.
And Rx TX from DHL,..but earlier there was no declared value option.

Any help would be really really appreciated.
Thanks for the prompt reply.

The issue is with 2 things, Value and the transmitter receiver in it.

What are they asking from you? Did you called and talked with them?

This is what they are saying:

"Dear Sir ,
File returned from customs with below objection .
Noc from WPC/ETA required , please provide the same
( wireless planning commission / Equipment type approval)
Regards,
Clearance Support Administrator,
FedEx Express TSCS India Pvt Ltd"

Hmm They are requiring a WPC NOC/ETA well what you can do is try giving the docs that parichya gave to FedEx and maybe it may get clear but I think it should get clear mate just try once.
Regards,
Aman.

I really can't figure out what he had sent them, I have send him a PM,
awaiting his reply.
I would just be happy to recover whatever i can from this.

I was asked to sign an authority letter and give a technical write-up of the need for the products.

WPC ETA came later.

What is the cost of this radio system??

Here is what you have to do, you have to write a letter to the deputy commisioner of custom, Delhi (if your goods are at delhi)

Saying that you are getting radio which works on 2.4Ghz and according to WPC 2.4Ghz is free frequency and does not require any license or any NOC.

You will find a relevant document on the WPC website about the same too. Just google about it. And send them the link also the document  from the WPC website too.

Thank you.
The cost of the radio with the Rx is 19.95USD.

Cool so just drop them then mail with above said details.

UPDATE:
I got an email from FeedEx before I could even send out this email.
Prior to this I had been requesting HK to request FEd Ex to return the shipment.
Fed Ex got in touch with me regarding this. They needed some conformation from my side for the same.
I have told them to forward the mail with the current request, explaining the 2.4Ghz radio and WPC reference etc. And should they still not clear it then I shall send them a noitice to send it back to HK.

Atleast this is going somewhere now. I will keep u guys posted.

Update:
No my ETA letter was not accepted.

I informed HK to recall the p[arcel, Fed Ex needed a letter from my end for the same, and within 24 hrs I was credited the amount I paid minus the shipping and handling fees.

Atleast the customs returned the parcel.

As Sk1701 requested:

Talk about customer dealing, talk about Prospective customer dealing , learn a lesson or two from Vibrant hobbies and quadkopters..

anyways, since he claims openly and will ensure that he wont let my parcels pass, there is no point in me helping you guys getting cheap stuff. This is the reason and the answer to all the people who were wondering why am i not taking any further orders.

These are VERY VERY incriminatory evidence against Rcmumbai.com owners, who is openly threatening to use his connection with Customs to obstruct others importing items personally.

Such evidence, coupled with Customs behavior could be used in court to bring about justice.

One word. SCREW such Thuggs/Don posing as "LHS" and bringing a bad name to hobby. Shameful, pretty shameful

true ujjwaana, :/ , yet others are here for the good  too , i would rather buy from someone tried and tested and knows the meaning of customer service , rather the .. ahem .. others ...

Kudos to QK for maintaining the respect and VH for showing great promises here


@nanu, glad to hear that, would you please like to share how much was total deductions ?

I am also facing same problem for past 2 years. On 2/5/15 Fedex told me that it was stuck at customs and I had to submit some documents. I did so but still it was useless. So I asked HK for a refund and I got one. So I thought that it would have been sent back to HK. But now it turns out that Fedex still has the package and wants me to clear it. Now I am not able to do anything about it.

Hey guys, apologies about posting in wrong thread, as i am not getting any replies on my thread and its kind of connected, all you guys here seem to have a lot of experience in dealing with customs. Just wanted to know if i order an PNF model from Hobbyking. Fomie with electronics installed (but no Rx) how likely is it that customs might hold it. I would be more than happy to buy from local stores as i usually do but it isn't available, its a new release. If it gets held can it be labeled as a toy aeroplane ?  or will it go under drones. how much % duty am i looking at ?   Thanks in advance.
