I only said so because it happened to my friend when he ordered a Global hawk RQ-4B

Absolutely! a forum member got into trouble when custom guys googled and found the real cost, forget about getting the item, getting HIM out of it was like, herculean task (He cant be seen these days, may be after this episode he quit the hobby)

Seriously is this true story???

very,

written apology, credit card transaction details, travel of more than 500 kms twice, poor chappie went through a lot, left hobby or not is an assumption, however he is not active on the forum

scary...

Then I got to start declaring the full value from now
I have no qualms about paying any taxes or such where they are due but the customs guys create trouble if they see a high value item. Then there is the post-office where sometimes things go missing if they are expensive..

Well here is my final configuration.
Qc 450 frame

Emax motors

Admin Note: Links fixed.

Guys please reply I  desperately need to get started

Can you fix the broken links please...

Which links ??
I am able to use all.

Here is the screenshot of my problem as you can see i am unable to declare lesser value on the site.
Even after registering.

u dont need to.. for 27 $ u wont be charged customs. only over 2000 rs is wht u will be charged.

That is just a sample. The point is that i am unable to use the declaration facility.
My actual order is well over a 100$. 

i think first order in hk has to be a full value declaration.

 

can you imagine what problems i'll go thru
I ordered my motors & Simon K firmware ESC from RCTIMER.
I had declared a value of 40$ and they charged me 24.71% customs .
The same on 126.79$ is 31$ approx 2k

true. but the easy way is to order small amounts initially .. may be 1 motor and 1 esc . for ur quad.. and the second order with the remaining.. with low declared value.
