Yes, there is a duty on imports.
No, there is no escape.
Evading duty is like not a sign of an honest person.
If you do not pay the duty and release the goods, then IndiaPost Customs will handover the article to the Indian Customs and Excise. Later on, it will be auctioned.

Hi Team,
I ordered a watch from ebay and seller was from SGP. I just got a letter from Jaipur Post office asking from custom charges. Is it a regular procedure. Is there any escape way out of this??
And how much custom is charged on things like this?? I paid Rs 8500 for my watch.
Thanks,
Surbhi
