I collected tye parcel today. Once you got the letter from postal service through (reg post), take the both letters to nearest parcel post center. No need to fill them as they will guide you through what you need to fill. Please take your ID and photo copy of both sides as they will ask it. Parcel collection center will check your form and give you a token no. They will call it when they have your item. Also they don't accept credit/debit cards so take appropriate amount.
Customs officer will ask the cost of the item, please say the correct amount but ask nicely if he can undervalue it and give you a lower tax rate. Don't be rude. They got annoyed with one guy and send him back and asked him to bring in item invoice and bank statement to comfirm the amount.
I said cost me 30s and asked nicely if I can get a lower tax. In the end I paid Rs5700 as a tax. If he put correct amount I'll end up paying Rs8500+
@Hyaenidae thanx for the help. Whole import customs process was much more organised than I expected. I expected chaos but im in and out in 45min.
