Kindly note that what you put the link is for basic duty. Then there is CVD (Counter vailing Duty) to be added and then cess of 3% (2+1).

Thanks for the clarification.  What is the rate/range of CVD ?

Section/Chapter 95 is the general chapter and if you import commercialy you need to have an IE code and can get taxed up to 36% of value of goods including shipping and insurance.
As a hobbyist you are better using and quoting chapter 98  http://www.cbec.gov.in/customs/cst-0809/chap-98.pdf, wherin you can get levied up to max of 17.4% of taxes.
Although the basic rate of duty is same the CVD and cesses apply differently in case of import through post for personal use.

Thanks.......
