claim Baggages for used personal effects sent by my brother
Hi,
I am living in india. My brother is living in Muscat, sending used 40inch LCD TV, 2 suitcases containing used old clothes of children, books, used old children toys and one canvas bag contains 1 setup box bought from india.
My main query is, my brother is not able to come to India now, as he was going to Canada with his family[wife, 2 children] due to his daughters medical treatment. So he is sending the used TV, used household items as i mentioned through DHL global forwarding on Oman airways. Becoz, he couldn't carry all the items to canada and comeback to India. So he booked the cargo items in his consignee name in first line, then in second line is c/o. my father's name. But the shippers name is same as my brother's name. So he wanted my father to collect the baggaes from air cargo by giving the handwriiten letter of my brother to authorize my father to collect it.
But here in india, in air cargo agents saying, without my brother's direct presence here in india could not able to collect easily without ordinary duty fee. So Agents saying the baggages sent by my brother to his name and house address[same address in passport also in brother's passport and also in my father's passport] here in india with c/o. of my father's name cannot be collected easily, it will be considered under Gift Item rule, so the duty will be 35-40%, also not possible to get easily in one day, it will take some days about 2 or 3 days or maximum 5 days. We told the agaents again and again how could it be come under Gift item category as the items all were used item in muscat, and he sending to his home address here in india by collecting the cargo items by our father, so then how it be come under Gift item ??. They are telling again and again to me becoz of rules here in cargo. I don't know the rules whether they know all the rules or simply acting themselves as they know little bit basic information of rules
I don't know whether agents are saying truly or not, if it is true , how to get the baggages by my father proof of passport easily by paying only 15% duty of used item such as 40inch LCD TV + 3 baggages. one disadvantage in the item is, there is no bill for used LCD TV, but i am sure it was already bought there in muscat for my brothers home in muscat and it was used.
Kindly help me to give advice as soon as possible, i am in very urgent to get back the baggages smoothly.
