Customs people are having price list invariably for all items. Value more than 1500 are seperated for more scrutiny. For used items they do not levy, provided the supplier paste a customs declaration in the packing as it is used one and gift item. customs duty varies from 5to 55% of cost according to categories. In this case it is play items if customs think it is new and worth more than 1500, they may levy 150+St . Some times out of sight they miss levying the customs. All depends on your LUCK>>>>>>> ebay ID-vijaysree747(vijayasri72@gmail.com)
