    Well now you did the stupidest thing by ordering a phone. Now be calm. Brace your self to do these things(suffer). :rolleyes:

    Once your item arrives to sri lanka, the Custom is going to send you a notice saying you received a parcel that will apply to the SL TAX+VAT. So you gotta present that letter and go to Central Mail Exchange service. be sure to take a printout from your paypal transaction to show payment proof but keep this to your self do not jump and show this in the first hand. wait for them to ask about this. :)

    They will open your parcel infront of you and let you know the applicable tax rates for that item.

    Above steps i know for sure but this thing i don't know. But anyways i'll give a heads up to you.

    They won't release you the mobile phone until you get a TRC approval for that mobile phone's GSM Frequency. Probably you'll have to get a licence for that and it'll come around LKR 6000/=. You have to show that licence to the central mail exchange service in order to release your phone.

    Have fun doing that and think twice before ordering a mobile phone from ebay again. It's cheap i know that but the clearing process is so annoying. Nobody will tell you what you have to do next at the central mail exchange center. They are bloody money looters. If you can pass something(you know, money) to them they'll help you. but be careful about that. I hope other members will help you out too.


    IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE PHONE:

    Usually the seller will give you a tracking number to your parcel. You can track it from
    Code:
    [URL="https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action"]USPS Tracking page[/URL]
    but i don't think that'll 100% accurate. In case your item won't make it the given time range give it another day or two and make a complain from ebay saying the item didn't arrived to you. Be sure to ask a refund from the seller and if you received the item after you've been refunded please be polite to pay them back for their item.
