@varkey thank you for your input.

Yep that's right, hence the need for IEC to make it appear as a non-personal import so that proper category wise duty would be charged.

Hi. Could you please help me? Total noob at this.

What should I fill on the places I marked with blue arrow?

Also, help me select the category of exporters - Merchant exporter, Manufacturer exporter, Merchant cum Manufacturer exporter, Service Provider, Others.

Sorry if it's too much trouble 🙁
 
i don't remember uploading bank proof when I did it tbh. Only PAN and Aadhar. Can you send screenshot?

Edit: nvm in bank proof I uploaded a cancelled cheque

Guys I was planning to order Huawei 535s router from eBay. Has anyone used IEC with eBay shipped items?

Also does the shipping address need to match my PAN address because it would be different in my case.

You could also try these people i2cworld, they were sellers earlier in Global easy buy at ebay India and they will provide a quote that includes customs and deliver the product to you. Had purchased from them earlier and even after ebay India was shut down, they had sent out emails saying they can still do procurement, custom clearance and home delivery. But I personally haven't purchased anything after the closure. Their email address is i2cworld3(AT)gmail(DOT)com and their mail was as below

Just wanted to put this link out there, seems to give bit more info - https://bangalorecustoms.gov.in/pad_cont_new2.php
This also clarifies things, if the item is declared as personal use goods, then the duty is 42.08. Also, the interesting thing is this mentions that duty is waived off if the duty is less than Rs 1000. That means items worth around Rs 2400 or so would be duty free which is kind of cool when it is clearly written and no more a matter of luck.
