Hi, I was carrying a 46" LED TV from USA to India and at the Mumbai Customs they told me that I have to pay duty based on the TVs value showing up in their list and ended up paying INR 20, 000. My understanding was that they are supposed to calculate the duty of the item based on the original purchase bill. I have produced the orignal bill ($1040 value) and still they didn't consider it.
Can some one help me understand what is the actual procedure because few customs staff told me that I have been over charged on the duty by not considering the original bill for evaluating the duty. I am really confused as to what is correct procedure.
Also, I am planning to submit a complaint to Commissioner of Mumbai Customs... Pls advice.
Thanks,
SD
