Oh there he is again!

Thank you

Thank you
Oh alright. That makes sense. It's atleast fortunate that this doesn't apply to laptops and phones.
@BasToTheMax He is the current leader of the
DOUBLE-BANDWIDTH-GANG
I aspire to be like him someday.
Or he's a bot? 🤔
True!
Oh that would be a pain if that happened
it's lotto, it happens but if you are lucky(almost 1/3rd are) you are okay, but if you are marked by them, say goodbye to the item or just paythem whatever they ask sometimes it's around 50-70% of the product value.
Ashburn - prem network!
Wow, that's a lot!
Why don't they improve the rules of this? This all seems really shady to me, imo.
Maybe, maybe not. Who knows.
I hope a resource (ram) upgrade GA happens today!
(and that I win it of course)
Yup, it's absolutely a pain knowing the charges they place on such devices is completely arbitrary, even if you present a genuine invoice.
Yeah, it's hard to tell. But the user also does not reply to mentions or Direct Messages
they won't that's one of the best revenue stream for any government especially when they have an influx of travellers going out and in, easy monies......
A person I know was charged 120% of the product value on an Asus phone a decade ago. This was 120% because they just decided to ignore the genuine invoice which was available with the product.
Yeah that's true. But with enough bad exposure, they might change it?
If enough people complain... ruining their reputation, they could think about changing it. Or at least making the rules more clear.
Can't they go to court at that point?
Oh, I see. Whatever, I am just here for the fun. If these orders are doing good for RackNerd, I am fine with that.
Yeah true. I'm also here for the fun (and to win GAs
)
You may appeal the charges and there are various stages for that with the final solution being going to the judiciary. But, nothing is guaranteed. And, in some cases, if your iPhone 15 is seized, by the time, the judiciary has come to a decision, Apple would have launched 18 or 19.
I wish to see the flash sales this time. Getting them is extremely tough, no doubt, but, each year, there are some unbelievable deals.
It takes THAT long?! WOW!
well it's in their jurisdiction to charge whatever they can and decide the value based on their own judgement that's the special privilege they have been granted by the laws.
Yah, pendency of cases in Indian judiciary is pretty high and a random gy's laptop being seized by the customs usually won't take precedence.
not generally in customs cases the ruling is finalized roughly within 48 months if there are multiple hearings, and if there aren't multiple hearings the ruling can come as fast as 6 months given the pending number of cases isn't astronomical.
It's high time, the law changed to something that makes it easier for us. Infact, even faceless evaluation can be applied at this time, with AI just analysing the product and getting its price and then preparing the charges.
Do you think we could reach 125 pages today?
what we are talking about comes with too much investments and i doubt the bureaubrats will allow any changes in this segment of the laws, sure they can decrease the taxes and import duty but there won't be any chance for it go duty free.
