I am electronic hobbyist I do diy projects. I want to import some electronic items from AliExpress but not placing orders bcz those items may be seized or returned back to China by Indian custom. Earlier, I use to import electronics from China, never had pay to any custom duty & all the orders was delivered. But now I am little bit hesitant in importing from China.

I think our net imports or trade with China has increased since the pandemic.

However, Foreign post office method of importing goods might have become more difficult.

Here the shipping status of an electronic item, ordered a month ago, costing under 50 USD, ordered through ebay.com

The item got dispatched the same day, but logistics seem to be slow moving.

You can ping here after 2 weeks, to check if it has been delivered yet, or any customs duty was levied.

After pandemic flights are less and freight charges have increased 2-4 times. Hence delay in shipping or slow Shipping…..

Only tracked goods will be delivered. 100% chances of custom duty. Ordered a projector 6 months back. Duty is 30-35% on declared price. But I think duty has increased now. Not sure.

Items under 50$ are easily passed custom without duty. I rarely import items above 50$.

Anyone know any shipping company which offers lowest cost need to order cosmetics in bulk to resell. Anyone have settings with customs to clear cosmetics items?

ebay.com is far more convenient to use than Ali anyway. Paypal is just brilliant in resolving disputes, should there be any. Need to purchase orings, will place the order from ebay. For god’s sake it’s been like 1.5 years I am waiting for some bloody key dampeners.

Is Aliexpress Shipping to India. Ordered 4 months before and thought of ordering again. I usually buy Mobiles cases, Glasses and cables below 3$. Now I dont know whether they are shipping or not to India

I guess they are shipping but by private courier services like FedEx, DHL, Aramex, etc. Shipping charge is 4K for 3$ items. So doesn’t make any sense importing items from China until things get normal between India and China.

Recently I had to buy a cover for samsung tablet, I was expecting it to be 1-2 USD but minimum i found was 4.5 USD for a basic cover, So I bought it on amazon.

Now that we can’t buy anything from China, can someone suggest me reliable online stores selling electronic components for DIY projects…? I need switches, wires, dc motors, etc. Local stores are closed due to lock-down restrictions.

Hoping AliExpress resumes. Not to support the Chinese products, but can’t get anything close here in India or anywhere else sad
