ani_meher 42 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 My friend is in US, and I am planning to get a few books and a bike jacket delievered. The cost of USPS delivery for upto 20 pounds ie 9.1 kgs is $35. But will I have to pay any duty here in India, or will it reach my doorestep by itself? will i have to go to the customs for that? there is no electrical item, and i don't intend to sell anything. What are the laws for this? there are quite a few experienced members here who usually import stuff. can you pls help me on this matter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 If it is by USPS then no one can say about custom duties because postal custom guys are very unpredictable. If it is by courier then it enters India thru different route so usually duty charged is reasonable. You can visit site of customs if you are interested in knowing laws only, which may not be followed by officials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
