I moved from the USA to Hyderabad and had a container to move my household goods to hyderabad. The goods included furniture, minimal electronics - TV receiver etc that one would have. No appliances. We also had some liquor bottles which we did not suspect would be a problem. The customs office Karthik and the inspector Naaz held our container saying that the liquor was a problem and since it was not declared in advance was illegal. They threatened to hold our container for a substantial amount of time if the bribe was not paid.
