DHL Express India — misleading for import duty by dhl india

Address:400034
Website:www.logistics.dhl/in-en/home.html

I have purchased one Casino G shock watch for personal use amount 94 USD(RS 7123.68) Order No[protected] dated 17 November 2018 online from Creation watchses
Creation watches website shown it was free shipping and no other charges details are mentioned
on 20 Novemer 2018 I got mail from DHL stating that There is import duty/tax due on your shipment. The amount is INR 3, 475.55. We will pay your import duty/tax to the authorities on your behalf to speed regulatory clearance.
which includes:

CUSTOMS DUTY-RS.685.73
IGST-RS.2, 131.25
S W SURCHARGES-RS.68
DISBURSEMENT FEES-RS.500
IGST-RS.90

I immediately contacted DHL customer service regarding import duty mail and massage but DHL executive said 'there are no import duty or any other charges on shipment you may received wrong mail error from DHL shipment is free and no duty on shipment' but on 21 November DHL delivery guy reached my home and handed me invoice of Rs.3, 475.55. told me i have to pay the charges.

I recontacted DHL customer service this time guy told me there was some miss-communications from their side regarding Import duty now you have to pay all charges to get delivery of the product.

Why the #### they didn't contact me before paying so called my behalf charges and after fooling me that there was miss communications or mistake from their side

DHL india are fooling customers and charging unwanted charges

IT IS A USELESS SERVICE WITH NO TRUTH IN THEIR CLAIMS AND I RECOMMEND NO ONE TAKING THIS SERVICE FROM DHL.

DHL INDIA IS A SHAME ON THE WORLDWIDE RESPECTED BRAND LIKE DHL .

Yes I have the same issue, I have already paid 3200 as shipping fee, and again charged 750 as DISBURSEMENT FEE and additional 135 (IGST 18% of 750 ).
this is worst service I have ever seen

this is worst service I have ever seen. do not go for DHL

Hey,
I just recently ordered from StockX.com
2 items
1 shoe and 1 hoodie both being Equal in price ( 120$ )
Both items came from Ups and DHL respectively.
To my surprise I paid 5600 as duty for my Ups order and DHL people called me and told me they have cleared my customs and now I’m liable to pay them 9800 ₹ duty on a import of 9000 ₹ hoodie .
NEVER order any of your shipment from DHL
They paying customs on your behalf is the biggest scam
