Rs 850 would mean you ordered about 1500 CDs as per the value declared In my case, I told them that it was to pass without any duty and it did eventually. Best A. Mani -- A.

I know - I was so surprised to find there was no-one in London, you imagine a capital city will have a lot of activity - so I've just gone ahead and organised something so, yes, I think you should register and organise something for Delhi!

The box has a notice from Canonical explaining that the CDs are free promotional materials and there should be no customs due. Unfortunately not every country sees things the same way and every year someone somewhere has to pay, or at least argue with customs, before they can get their CDs. I don't think any of the New Zealand teams have ever had this problem though...
