Dhl Express & Indian Customs — Duty clarification against the way bill [protected]

Address:Pune, Maharashtra

This is regarding my shipment [protected]. I just came to know that I have to pay Rs. 4207(INR)as customs duty. It is really surprising to me. The product which I ordered from New Zealand is as follows:- Immunecare Colostrum(Food Suppliment) - 43 NZ$ Candigest Plus(Medicine)- 78.22 NZ$ I also paid 85 NZ$ for the shipment. The total amount I paid 206.65 NZ$. It comes around Rs. 9990 INR. This product is for my personal use and it is a health related medicine. The most surprising fact to me that how the customs duty can be Rs. 4207 INR where the actual product costs Rs. 6500(approx) INR. On what basis this huge customs duty has been calculated? I just want to get clarity on this. No where in the world customs charge 80% of the total product cost as a customs duty for medicine. It's really surprising.
