Dalia Sasidharan : I am thinking of importing some fancy jewelry items from China and do the reselling. The cost is approximately FOB $2/pc and the minimum quantity specified by the seller is 60nos. I have few doubts regarding buying these items through web. 1. Do I need an Import licence or any other permission from govt authorities to buy these items from China. The items are fancy jewelries. 2. If The seller sends these items through courier, do I have to pay customs duty or any other taxes/ duties? 3. If so how much % I need to pay towards taxes? 4. Is it legally OK if I get these items through courier and resell these items. 5. What is the preferred shipping method Request you to kindly clarify the above points for my understanding.
