I want how to buy product from international market through ebay and the payment method ?

[slatha2000]

I want to sell items internationally. Typically my range of items are small cottage industry handicrafts, apparel samples, Metal badges etc.. Most of them can be shipped in small envelopes of under 200gms.

Now my questions are:

1. Does India Post disallow sending items thru registered post?
2. Should I include a bill when I am shipping an item abroad? I prefer to email the sender an electronic email notifying shipment.
3. Are there any items that I am prohibited from sending abroad?
4. Should I take some kind of 'export licence' or 'export clearance' for thiskind of sales?
5. Is there any vat or sales tax that i have to charge my buyers on this and pay the government ?

Hello,
How to calculate shipping cost for different countries?

[internationalgems_in1]

1. What are the ways/mode of shipping internationally, i.e which are the courier companies which accept jewellery and gemstones for international shipment.

2. What are the documentation shipping companies require?

3. Do these shiping companies also take the responsibility of customs clearance and valuation in case of jewellery and gemstones articles of the product and package the product themselves?

Thanks / Satish Khera for International Gems, India

1. How safe is it when buying internationally? I have often seen many sellers who list their items for shipments 'worldwide' or to 'Asia' but decline to sell to India (in my case), often not responding to the buyer's questions at all. Such a seller's lack of ethics and sense has also tarnished my record after he refused to sell after I won his item. Do sellers also receive warnings and alerts for not meeting their commitments?
2. International buying is an import. How far is the buyer accountable to the various regulating bodies of the government such as Customs and Excise or the Tax and Foreign Exchange departments? Does the shipper or courier handle all these?
Thanks in advance.
