The post office receiving foreign post keeps a register where they enter the numbers and addresses. You could go there and check the register.

Which post office should i search??

Sorry, I don't know for your city.

is it that i can contact any post office in the city.. or is there any dedicated coustems office for mails??..

one has delt with foreign  post office custom Delhi . recentaly they have my parcel for last one month ..can any one put some light on the legality of the issue .. do Rc hobby is a legal or illegal as per the aviation rules one cant even fly a kite

Hi Anurag..

Wats the content of the package ? It probably has been detained because you ordered something that is not permissible..If not, then you have all the rights to call them up or go there and ask for an explanation..

hope this helps ?

Its not about legality of the hobby. When NCC can do it, IITs/NITs can organize fest and film star can fly that why can't we! There is no written laws on this, just blanket orders. If you are flying at a proper Club/Air field with permission of concerned authorities, it should be fine.

As far as the customs impounding parcels goes, they can ONLY hold Radios as that is clearly in the 'Restricted' list. Rest like motors, ESC, LiPo (has some issues regarding anti dumping), plastics , connectors are all under unrestricted list of import, HS code for which could be found on Indian Customs site (find my older post where I have mentioned for few RC related items).
But again, before hitting the 'Buy' button on E-bay/ HC, do a cost-time-benefit analysis and see if you can get it from LHS instead.

not to scare
but be careful while ordering radios from china

Just wondering if a Trex 700 can take a payload of 5 to 10KG? 

First of all out Govt don't want to give sufficient frequencies for us, then they do all this bull shit.! The article does not even mention 2.4 G, are we still in the early 19th century?

Our so called security agencies are so outdated and full of complete MORONS.
As fas as thier ' intelligence inputs" are concerned, people are ramming cars and trucks laden with 'payload' into target in our neighboring countries. Why don't they ban use of motor cars, trucks etc and ask citizens to use cycle rickshaw, bullock carts and horse driven Victoria (for the elite class) 

That 10-12kg line sounds so, so funny to me!! as I said, morons! The country which as actually hit by planes did nothing to ban the hobby!! They have properly 'Regularized' it.

Even if they do as you said, next they will ban the horses saying that it will carry 10000 Kgs of TNT
