Hi all,
Please read this post carefully. Because it is important for buyers from West Bengal and also important for seller who refuse to ship to west bengal.
Since last 2005 after introduction of VAT rules in West bengal, there were various problems for sellers as well as buyers regarding west bengal. Buyer from West bengal are being refused by maximum sellers (outside west bengal) at ebay because there were provision of form 50 for both registered dealers as well as individuals.
As a result, individual buyers from west benga were facing denial from most of the reputed sellers of ebay india. But it is not their(sellers) faults, becuase the form 50 many of reputed sellers faced lose of business due to excise attack on their shipment to west bengal. But sellers were at least 10% guilty.
All the mishap happened when sellers went for cheaper courier like professional , blazeflash, deccan360. These poor courier company has no legal responsibilities toward seller and also toward buyers, that was the reasong for those lost.
But courier like dtdc, bluedart, dhl , aramex always worked good .
But now there is very good news for sellers(who does not ship to west bengal) as well as buyers from west bengal.
The NEWS:

According to new trade circular of west bengal, from now on there is no existence of form 50 , Instead there is new form 50A for importing good into west bengal from outside west bengal. The big thing is that this form only available to registered dealer.
So it implies that from now on individuals will not need to submit any form 50 which was very hectic. The only eed is a self declaration from the individual that he is a consumers.
This dAta also has been updated in bluedart website. Earlier bluedart asks for form 50 for all registered dealers as well as individuals, but now you can see their updated regulatory for shipment to west bengal.
So, I think it will help many sellers who doest not ship to west bengal now. And it is also helpful to buyers from west bengal.
Please please update your shipping policy for shipment to west bengal. But one thing this update is available at bluedart, and it is the most reliable shipping courier for all sellers.
Do not go for those cheaper like blazeflash or professional or deccan, they will steal item themselves and put the dispute on west bengal custom.
Please read carefully.
