AliExpress banned in India

[greghouse]

@varkey can I ping you please

My first consolidated shipment through Buyandship cleared customs earlier today. One package was from China which got forwarded to HK, another package was from EU which I got it shipped to HK. Buyandship declares generic names in the customs declaration or shipment manifest. I had ordered some smart switches / energy meter etc from Shelly and it was declared as computer parts Overall, the package got cleared at 18% GST as duty. It arrived pretty fast too.

@bjrj You'll have to confirm the customs laws for an international shipment arriving in Korea/Thailand. Hong Kong is a free port, so there is no customs duty or any restrictions for imports.

Now that things with China are somewhat better, any chances of ban being overturned?

No chance !!!

Anything which interferes with EGO /PR/ Propaganda /Marketing image of Narendra Modi, will be banned in India.
Unless hefty commission/bribe is paid to the Govt.

@Lol Yes I bought a Netgear Aircard AC800s from Alibaba, using Buyandship. Took 16 days in total but it was hassle free, declare the value you want and upload KYC with aramex. But do ask buyandship if they allow thermal paste to be shipped as it is a semi liquid

 

[Lol]

turns out some Chinese sellers are on ebay as well, i got the same thermal paste with "free" (very cheap) shipping.

 

[Lol]

this is what tracking shows
