Hi All

 

I have ordered a Pilot Metal Falcon from JAPAN through ebay.com. It cost me $187+$16=$203(around RS 13700)

It is being delivered through EMS speed post.

This is my first import, I have no clue about what will be the custom duty for the pen.

I was not aware of the Gift clause, so I did not marked this item as gift. :mellow:

 

Moreover I had to ship this item to my friend's address as Japan EMS is not available in my pin code.

 

Could any one help regarding custom duty for this pen.How the custom duty will be calculated after GST, and the payment procedure.

 

I am worried by reading some post's from different source in internet. They said, I have to visit custom office for clearance.

Are there be any complication, as I have shipped it in my friend's address?

:( :(

If custom duty is changed, you will have to pay it to the postman in cash at the time of delivery. Amount will depend upon your luck. Since you have shipped to your friend's address, if your friend receives any letter from custom office, he can claim that it is a gift from you and produce proof that payment is done by you and not by him.

If it can be shown that the item is a gift, value of gift upto Rs20000 is exempt. The challenge here is that such gifts should have been received from abroad ( from persons staying abroad). So if your friend sticks to showing it as such, then no problem. Otherwise the customs could be approx 40% plus a penalty of minimumRs 2000. You keep tracking, normally a letter is received through the postman who delivers the packet.

Thank You... :) :)

Yesterday I have received my pen. No problem regarding custom clearance :wub: . They have charged 2193 as custom duty(I think this is due to the item marked as gift.) Overall Cost is arround 15500(in India this cost is arround 24K :excl: :excl: ) :D

 

 

The pen is awesome.. I have ordered fine nib. Nib is smooth with little bit feedback. For better line variation one should bough SEF nib i think. I have plan to publish a detailed review.

The SEF is somewhat stiffer and has a lot more feedback. For what little line variation there is you're better off with the SF.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
