Re: dont send anything via post to pakistan
No wonder we live in ignorance - they think of DVDs as something "highly classified" upon which I said yeah take a stroll to Uni Plaza - theyre 15 Rs a piece - while I was there, another person was arguing with the same appraiser.
This fellow had moved back from USA a few months back, and had his clothings sent via post. This same half witted appraiser put up a customs duty on it somewhere equalling 20,000 Rs - claiming that the clothings were "branded" (aka mehenga kapra) and could not be just let go without duty.
His fight was in Punjabi (far more colorful than mine)
