Reported on May 10, 2014 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #40916

I brought aeromodels through air freight into Bangalore. The customs DC says it is not allowed to import aero models and has seized it and does not allow for clearance. They called my wife twice to discuss where their only point is the aero models are declared as toys and hence it is seized. They had calculated a duty if 60k which I was willing to pay but they are still insisting they won't clear. It was explained to him that the same aero models are sold in the Bangalore malls and are flown by NCC cadets and college students. Many engineering colleges use such aero models for their projects. Even recently aero models were used by the press to cover election rallies as shown on NDTV.
