Hi,
I ordered some equipment for my WFH setup from B&H, US. To my surprise, I was charged 10% duty + 1% surcharge and 28% GST on the total amount as custom duty. I thought it will be based on the item HSN code but apparently, the HSN code only applies to commercial imports, and all personal import goods are charged at a flat rate.
Is this true? The purchase price is now quite a bit more than expected.
