Had to Pay a Bribe to take acceptance of a Gift Package from US

Reported on August 21, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #4299

I had to pay a bribe of $500/- to claim a package that was sent to me by my Husband (then my fiance) It mostly had some shampoo chocolates a used Ipod... The customs officer said that my Fiance had Crossed the section on US Postal form for customs declaration of a gift, instead of ticking it. In the US its common practice to cross selections and not check mark!!!!! I have never seen such such blatant misuse of power and that too for personal package not worth more than $150 USD... I can only Imagine the bribes she accepted from Businesses making up some ********** and bull story about them being in the wrong.... I have since moved permanently to the *******
