Hello all !

This is my first post on this forum. I have been reading this forum since a month about IEC code. 

I am starting Importing goods (Memory Cards & Pen Drives for now) from China and then selling them to wholesellers here. I have few questions about the same, I appreciate any help :)

1) I have applied for IEC code. Do I need to apply for any other licenses too? If yes, what they are?
2) I read here about custom duties on Memory cards. One member mentioned that it is custom duty free product another member mentioned that the custom duty is 4.12%. Which is true?
3) I am planning to visit China to buy these products. Can I carry the memory cards and pen drives in luggage while coming back to India? 
4) If the answer to question "3" is "yes" then can I pay custom duty on Airport? 
5) Apart from custom duty, are any other fees or taxes that I need to pay for importing these goods from China?
6) This should be a too noob question, sorry for this, I am not familiar with Commerce terms.. What is difference between Custom and Excise?

I hope that someone from the forum can answer my silly questions. Thanks in advance :)

Hey Ramesh,

Thank you for your help!

I got the IEC Code today. But, when I see the status of my IEC code at customs, it says Data Could Not Be Sent To Customs. I wonder why is my IEC Code not working at Customs.

 

Is it a good idea to contact Airport Custom Department to get more details about importing Memory Cards and Pen Drives to India? 

 

Thanks again :)

AFTER ISSUANCE THE IEC CODE DGFT TRANSFER IT TO CUSTOM DEPARTMENT.

IF YOUR DATA COULD NOT SEND IN CUSTOM , ASK YOUR CHA FOR FEED IN MANUALLY IN CUSTOM.

OTHERWISE MEET TO MR. Dr. V.S. Rana, TECHNICAL DIRECTOR, NIC, UDYOG BHAWAN, NEW DELHI THEIR CONTACT NO IS:
