BASANT,

All goods imported into India have to pass through the procedure of customs for proper examination, appraisal, assessment and evaluation. This helps the custom authorities to charge the proper tax and also check the goods against the illegal import. Also it is important to note that no import is allowed in India if the importer doesn’t have the IEC number issued by the DFGT. There is no requirement of IEC number if the goods are imported for the personal use.

YOU ARE ADVISED TO HIRE A CUSTOM HOUSE AGENT AND TAKE RELIEF,

REGARDS,

RAMESH VERMA
