Dear Amitava,
Hello,
If you think I am an EXPERT........then you are quite wrong.
I am also on a learning path like you.
ebay is a vast Ocean where you have un-ending things to experience & learn.
As far as your International shipping querry is concerned, there was a work shop organised by ebay with the INDIA POST. One of the question raised and its answer may be of help to you........
😎 What are the requirement and procedures to clear customs?
At the time of booking, the sender has to fill in certain forms prescribed by the Customs. On the basis of these forms, the Customs may clear the article as per normal rules. However, in case of Insured article, the sender has to close his article in the presence of the Custom Officer. This facility is available at SEEPZ PO, Mumbai GPO and Foreign Post Office. All rules and regulations of Import Export policy will apply here.
I am giving you the link of this work-shop which would be quite beneficial to you:
