Sir my another question is that Is there any legal obligation if I import the product of Transcend brand and has logo of it.

In view of costing if the cargo is less then 4/5 kgs then courier mode is good, If cargo is more then 5 kgs cargo mode is suggested. 

Import under cargo mode (Airport Clearance)  is better  instead of courier mode,  which will help you to interact with customs  directly  If they need any clarifications etc., in this regard please contact any good  Freight forwarders who can bring your cargo for more competitive price then courier companies.
