@nairtb:- Just try out the customs duty calculator on toys then i think you can get an approx amount.
Here is an example importing a rc plane from us to india.

Hey nitesh thanks for calculating i gave the link and you calculated :). Thanks for doing that.

aman1256

Hey nairitb i tried some other calculators on the net and i think it should not cost you more than 11500 Rs (Approx) including  shipping and customs taxes.

rcrcnitesh

How come you calculated it Aman.

Nairitb it would be better ordering from our lhs as they will provide you with excellent service and things like that but it is on you whom you choose

HaHa. Thanks a lot Aman & Nitesh. I didn't expect you people to take this issue so seriously. Thank you very much.

Now to the details.

I know a few things about Customs Duty calculations.
1st is the Order value declared. Customs duty (and other charges) are calculated as a % of this value.
Now the Price of the plane is $111.74 (discounted price). INR 6885.43. And this will be declared by HobbyKing as Customs Declaration. Shipping costs are not included in this price. I calculated at this site according to this criteria (thnx to Aman & Nitesh):

http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/saved_calculations/view_details/186210699/

Total import duty & taxes due: INR 2075.29

This is the amount that needs to be paid to customs. So about INR 11,500 total.

@nitesh. You got Import duty as INR 4686.65 because in that calculation, Total import value was INR 46402.43

Now to a real life example. I have attached a scanned copy of a Customs Duty receipt issued by FedEx when delivering at a Bangalore address. Dated January 2012. Assessable Value was INR 5500. Total Duty Rate in this case was 26.84%. I found this here at RCIndia.org

Even at 30% tax rate, my Customs duty will be INR 2,178.93 (considering 1$ = INR65). Total value will be about INR 12000.

Now to the final thing. I really can't decide what to do now. I think I'll wait and see if more people share their experience just as this person SURESH KUMAR did. May be I'll order in December. No final decision yet.

By the way, you can call me Nairit

nairitb

There are NO bans on importing ANY FPV equipment. I didn't buy the whole gear, but I ordered a 700 TVL camera, 1W Tx-Rx (with accessories) and antennas. Didn't have any problems...  :thumbsup: Just ensure that your package is sent by Registered Airmail (below 2kg)

Aman23

chill Eric...  8-)
while ordering itself prepare yourself for a 1 month waiting period if using reg. air mail.

aman1256

Thanks nairit  for the help. actually can anyone suggest me set of fpv :)

SideWinder

Eric I empathize with you  :( , my parcel has been dispatched to India (hopefully) since 03/10/2013
No further updates yet

EricOliver

Today got an update like you 'dispatched to overseas' hopefully it really got dispatched.....i think dispatched in terms of singpost means they are in wait in ATC( Airmail Transit Centre) correct me...

EricOliver

Does that parcel contained radio...@SideWinder

SideWinder

No it contains sunnysky motors, and its from Aliexpress but been shipped through Singpost.
The seller there had informed me that it would take 30 days, so i will wait it out patiently

Im not sure about the terminologies used by singpost, but take a look at nairitb's tracking status, posted some time ago.

Hey if anybody orders from Ems Speed post in hobbyking.com how much time it will take??? Does it has some effects on customs?

EricOliver

Dont know about time but EMS is favorite thing for customs they attract customs like magnet....you'll hav to pay customs in EMS

aman1256

So means it is dangerous to order from ems speed post. (Danger)

EricOliver

Hehehe ....cant say but definately you'll have to pay customs....ask members who have been importing with EMS. .benefit is that you will recieve it within a week
