Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi AudioBTL Post Number: 8229 Registered: Oct-05 | just have whoever you are buying from to make you a fake invoice for 25% of the actuall cost of the equipment. that way you pay less on the duties. i don't know exactly how much you pay though. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi AudioBTL Post Number: 8231 Registered: Oct-05 | i believe you pay like 100% of the invoice cost. like i said i don't really know. some countries its 200%. but yeah if you make the invoice alot cheaper, you would pay alot less. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi AudioBTL Post Number: 8236 Registered: Oct-05 | since its only one item i doubt you will have any problem aman. i don't know why i didn't think of that. sorry man. |

Silver Member Username: Aman2005Patiala, Punjab India Post Number: 385 Registered: May-06 | chad, what do you mean by one item? |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindFi AudioBTL Post Number: 8239 Registered: Oct-05 | what i meant is that you are only going to be shippng one amp right? if you have multiple items of the similiar nature, the customs won't believe that it is a gift. since its only one amp you can pass for a gift. |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Patiala, Punjab India Post Number: 387 Registered: May-06 | hmm... thanks for your help. But I will confirm this from Post office first, so that I can get the amp wihout paying customs. If still there is any trick to get rid of customs, please tell me |
