Show cause notice by customs for ordering sex toy online from Alibaba
24-Sep-2023 (In Customs & Central Excise Law)
I ordered a sex toy without knowing that it comes under restricted items in India and now I have been assigned a show cause notice for it under sec sec 124 of the customs act, 1962,as it violates the conditions of section 3(i) of foreign trade (exemption from application of rules in certain cases ) order, 1993, covered under foreign act, 1992.and it further says that import of any restricted/prohibited goods are liable for penal action under section 111(d) of customs act, 1962. I would request you to help me in this matter. I do not want the toy and would like to close the matter
That is really quite unfortunate as there are several companies that sell sex toys in India including durex. One would need to look into the substance of the allegations in the show cause notice and write a reply to the same and hopefully the matter would be concluded at this stage itself.
One would need to peruse the contents of the show cause notice.
The provisions you have pointed out do not really indicate the provisions under which such an import would be illegal.
