Thanks for the link Stylish:
So far what I have found about the custom rates from official websites :
Download and read the file
in page no. 430 it says that:
Goods imported, accompanied or unaccompanied by a
passenger as per the Baggage Rules shall be charged customs
duty at the following flat rate instead of levying chargeable
customs duty, excise duty and value added tax. However,
goods permitted free of import duty as per the Baggage Rules
shall be exempted.
(a) Goods liable to no customs duty in the tariff rates shall be
charged 15%
(b) Goods liable to customs duty @ 5% shall be charged
20%
(c) Goods liable to customs duty @ 10% shall be charged
25%
(d) Goods liable to customs duty @ 15% shall be charged
30%
(e) Goods liable to customs duty @ 20% shall be charged
35%
(f) Goods liable to customs duty @ 30% shall be charged
50%
So
1) we have to find what items are beyond the "free of import duty" according to baggage rules.
2) Then we have to find out the tarrif % of custom duty , then according to above flat rate we can calculate the exact amount of custom duty we need to pay.
* Baggage rules can be found at
where it mentions about what is allowed ( free of import duty )
* The custom duty % can be found on same tarrif pdf.
( Please let me know if I am wrong)
