[Resolved]  DHL Express India — Company is charging me more than 2x the price of item as Custom Duty

AWB - [protected]

Price of Product - 18.7 USD =1403 INR
Price of our lovely DHL express shipping - 58.7 USD = 4406 INR
The product was in custom clearance event for 6 days in which they asked me few documents on first day which i gave on the same day
then after 5 days asked one more document which i gave on the next day
Now after 6 long days i get an email which says pay 3710 INR as custom Duty

I have ordered the same item from the same website 1 month back from Quantium Solutions for 9 dollars and there was no custom duty or documents needed!

If you read the charges - they are charging me storage charges(for what?? i didnt delay anything ) and igst of 1800 ?????
Also Assessed Value is empty on bill

one thing is for sure i am not going to pay 3710 INR for a 1400INR item and a 4400 INR shipping xd
