Got my Intel Core 2 Extreme laptop CPU today via Hong Kong Post, total time after shipping was 10 days including two-three days it took for coming from Mumbai to Nagpur.

Seller must have undervalued it, hence no customs i guess, which shipping option and how much time did it take?

Took about 4 weeks. Had ordered somewhere around first week of Feb, got it last week.

It is good to see the PTC Mysore website working again, it was out of action for many months last year, better to track here than India Post website as the PTC Mysore site is much faster and also you do not need to enter the stupid code before tracking every time, here is the link for anyone who is new to this website:

You need to do both: Worry and Wait. What is the product and what USD value have you given?

It's a memory card, and I don't know the given USD value, but it's not above Rs.1500. The seller said "hi friend please do not worry, we send by personal"!

Memory card is a small shipment, so the only reason may be the declared shipment value, i always instruct the seller to declare small value between 4-8 USD. So, far have not been charged any duty.

Then I will wait till next week. One of my other parcel is also showing the same statement, maybe there are too many parcels and less officials for check and clearance?

Only parcels which end up getting charged customs duty get held up for many days, otherwise normal shipments get cleared within 2 days. After receiving the product, do post the amount of import duty you paid and also what was the USD value on the shipment. Will be helpful for other members in future.

You cannot escape import duty with DHL, Fedex, Aramex and other private couriers. Get the products shipped via registered post air mail like Hong Kong or China registered air mail or EMS and if the shipment is not given a high value, there will not be any customs charged.

Assume I order via China Registered Mail, and there is a customs issue, then how to pay?
