The experience has been pretty much the same for me. The only difference is that the customs duty for electronics has gone up tremendously.

Any update on the scene? You guys found any alternatives?

I called Sneha from SnS today. She told it is risky to import used phones since they will charge market value 90% of the times (sometimes even more) & also since it is not allowed by law. She advised me against it. Anuradha is not taking calls. She gave me Sneha's number.

Today one of the ppobox employee informed me that importing of used & refurbished phone has stopped. Hence going forward only new phones will be shipped & custom cleared. He said that this move is basis the information received from customs.

Friends pls validate if any one of u had got similar info. Also if ppobox has stopped then are other service providers like sns still continuing to ship & custom clear used phones

I got the exact same query. What are our options now, after PPOBOX has shut shop?

[ShopAndShip / PPO Box & other package forwarders]

Yes, there is an increase in duty. Also, importing used phones is not allowed via PPOBox anymore. What are our options, now? Which is the next cheapest available service?

Is HSG cheaper than PPOBox after their 4% hike in custom duty?

[ShopAndShip / PPO Box & other package forwarders]

They will be further charging 10 % flat as per news from SnS and according to internal source they will charge on retail rate they get for websites i.e contract free rates from webpage. Not sure but the person working in SnS said this. Hope its not true.

Thanks for the info. That would be castastrophical if it turns out that way. The only positive I can think of is this would also increase prices of imported retail cell phones sold in India.

Any updates on the new custom duty to be charged on mobile phones? Things seem a bit unclear at the moment.

Tell you what, I was charged Rs.3,051 for a new G2. They told me customs was charged on $400. Any cheaper alternatives?

[ShopAndShip / PPO Box & other package forwarders]

What is New Other? Also, how does the custom official decide if the phone is New or used? Based on the seal?

Is the duty charged on the invoice or the market price when using SNS?

[ShopAndShip / PPO Box & other package forwarders]
