to all the guys who post here asking for how much the customs duty is for the items the bought, guys u should be worrying about the customs BEFORE u buy the item not afterwards ( real STUPID i should say).
I went through Indian customs website, the excise/customs duty varies a lot, depending on TYPE of item(not all items have same customs duty), its weight and value shown in the customs declaration form by shipper/seller.
MOST sellers from US and Europe DONT break rules and label an item as a gift (but a few do i guess), so better confirm with the seller before u bid/buy for any item.
And India customs is veryyyyyy corrupt and ineffecient, most of the time if u get an item from abroad by mail without any hazzles/issues u r LUCKY...and usually no one is going to contact u from customs to inform u about any problem/issue with the package u received, ( unless it is high value item or some serious violation like banned items etc) they know that anyways after waiting for sometime u will try to contact them yourself, I know this from personal experience, but hey it was my own experience, maybe people here will have a different story to tell
