Custom duty was charged on Ubuntu CDs

by Girish Shukla

This is strange. We are sending and receiving open source material including Open Solaris, Ubuntu CDs, SFD's promotional material since last 3 years now and it has not invited any such duty or charges. The package has a declaration and legally no charges are applicable on any such material as it is not under "imported goods" and has no commercial value. You have done the right thing by not accepting the courier. In case of Canonical, you can contact their Distribution Co-ordinator marilize at canonical dot com or simply let the courier/custom guys have a hand on Ubuntu ;-) - Girish SFD-Indore, India > Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:03:43 +0800 > From: Frederic Muller <fred(a)beijinglug.org> > Subject: Re: [SFD-discuss] Custom duty was charged on Ubuntu CDs > > Dear Shashi, > > Every single package leaving China will have a sticker and a matching > custom declaration stating that what we're shipping has no commercial > value.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Custom duty was charged on Ubuntu CDs

by Frederic Muller

I definitely concur with what Thyagarajan wrote. Last week I went myself to the custom to explain them what it was about. It is possible to get things duty free as you should, but you'll have to spend time and fight for it. Canonical and SFD already spend the time and money to send you free things, maybe you can try to handle your local customs in order to avoid wasting all these efforts we put in. Magic doesn't exist, you make it happen. All the best!
