My phone is stuck in customs and charged heavy duty fee to release it


In Customs & Central Excise Law
My friend sent a phone from usa and custom withheld it stating that we need to pay 50k inorder to release it. The phone is unboxed and without any accessories. So it's not worth of 50 thousand. From the start they are suggesting us to either pay or abandon the package.Please advise

Well, it is not worth for you to file a case before the Customs Commissioner to recover your Mobile Phone seized by the Customs. As you have to pay spend more amount of money initially in admitted the Appeal along with Advocate fee, Penalty, fines, etc than the price at which you have purchased the phone.
