I was trying to buy an item from Amazon.com to my Indian address but I am unable to complete my payment, weirdly while choosing my Debit card it does not ask me to verify my cvv number, I have also used this card to do transactions on various international websites and it always works, any way to complete the payment?
 
What error are you getting?
 
It said that the transaction was declined by my bank but weirdly I was able to buy gift card of same value ($82) from the same card without any issues so I bought the item with the gift card.
 
right. as per the supreme court ruling, they no longer can. remains to be seen if it would ever get implemented or government would just make a joke out of the judgement.
 

@Sushubh, my package was released from Delhi customs today, I called and asked DHL about custom charges and the representative said it was rs 3200, isn't that too much for a $50 item, the item was a nutritional supplement.
 
Do they charge custom duty just on item or item+shipping, if the latter then it's $80, 3200 is still too high IMO, shouldn't custom duty be lower on health/medicine related products
 
Well, I will just pay the amount this time, the product is quite important and I don't have the patience to argue, it was fortunate that the item was not an expensive one.
I have bought 15-20 items from China of value ranging from $2-$80 and I never had to pay a single penny as custom charges, DHL delivered the the item in 3-4 days but the price was too expensive to pay, I will probably choose cheap USPS shipping next time.
 
Dhl charge custom duty on orders shipped through Ali etc as well. Low value items as well.

Yup. They charge customs on value declared on invoice so yeah they charged you customs on 80$. but still, 44$ customs on 80$ is too much. Did you order whey protein?
 
It was a magnesium supplement, i needed magnesium for my brain and the only supplement which could do that effectively was magnesium L-THREONATE, it was impossible to find here locally in India, the ones available on Amazon.in were also imported on order by 3rd party.
