tx, rx import are banned without Import License. So if your parcel goes through customs, then you'll face problems. General Customs duty is @17% of TOTAL order value. But since your parcel contains tx, rx you may have to pay penalty (don't know the rates) or bribr the customs officer. Select INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED AIRMAIL as shipping method. Then your parcel might not get through customs. But if you select EMS, then SURELY your parcel will go through customs.

2.4Ghz Tx/Rx are not banned. Customs duty is around 29% of entire amount (product cost + shipping)
again attaching the customs duty chart, obtained from Aramex
Timeframe is about 20-30 days for big parcels
Every parcel/letter goes through custom verification

If a particular product is exempted from license, still I need to notify WPC about it before use? Can I import the same without need of any license?       
      
If the product is not Type Approved, then it is required to inform WPC and obtain Type Approval from WPC. Import License is required from WPC to import any equipment, other than Broadcasting Reciver and TVRO System."

Do we really need .. Or it is just the one more way to eat hardearned money by Customs...

"Possession and Use" are different from "import".  This is a topic that has been beaten to death, burned into ashes, flown in a river, scattered into the sea, devoured by whales, and since disappeared.

  Why not use that little box on the top right, aptly marked "search" ?  Just for fun... every once in a while ?

how do we pay to hobbyking in dollars ?
what is the best method of paying to hobbyking without any risk of hack etc ?

Rcnitesh,you can set your'e currency from the hobbyking website alone on the top right hand corner and paying through paypal is safe and reliable,also hobbyking is a safe website so you can be assured nothing is going to happen.

i checked the currency its not in rupees ?

It would not be,you need to pay in USD from your debit/credit card which will automatically be deducted from your account based on the current currency ratio.

thanks priyum bhaiya

Your'e welcome
