Thanks for the reply TenX! I think I'm going to work on the club membership. After hearing such strong suggestions from folks like you and Sankar, I think I'd be a fool if I tried my luck!

Thanks for all your time guys!

I would suggest you dont take any chances and just get a club membership asap...
One wide-throw option would be to call up TNT and ask them if they will give an assurance in clearing the same, which I seriously doubt...

Dear Gurus,
I have a parcel comming in from mexico / USA where ever he is arranging it from, very soon.

I think my brother should send the letter typed below & the attachments duly printed along with the parcel.

Gentelmen, please have a look & suggest any changesin the letter drafted below.

To whom so ever it may concern

This is to certify that I am sending one Benjimin Sheridin “Discovery” air rifle in .177 caliber, to my brother Shamsher Singh. Who is a member of the ……….shooting club & is eligible to import a air rifle in .177 caliber for target practice / shooting competitions

This item falls in the sporting goods category and is for personal use and not for any commercial purpose.

This item is non prohibited and exempted from all duty and taxes vide notification No. 12 (RE-2005)/2004-09 GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY, DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Enclosed along with are the following documents;-
a) http://dgftcom.nic.in/exim/2000/not/not05%5Cnot1205.htm (this would be printed)
b) Membership card of shooting club of which Shamsher Singh is a member.
c) Photo ID of Shamsher Singh
d) A copy of the invoice where the item is mentioned as .177 caliber

Adding to the above I still have one question which has is the big question.

When the parcel lands in India it would probably be New Delhi (as I am located only 200 Kms away from Delhi).
Would the custom clearence be done at the Delhi Posts or would the parcel be inspected in the city of delivery?

If the inspection is done in Delhi & some problems arose I would need to go to Delhi!

would be easy to manage in my city.

Shamsher, if your city does not have a Foreign Post Office, you may need to go to Delhi.

Bloody Americans goofed up and sent me Shamsher's Blunderbus to my Mexican address, with all letters addressed to Indian customs. Now it is stuck in Mexican customs which is just a tad better than Indian customs.
Crossman claims they can only ship to the credit card billing address but never informed me

Anyway I have a friend (read... desi jugaar) to try and get it out.

Hold on to the dispatch - I need to scan & email you the shooting club membership card. & my ID card.
This may take a week as the card is still not made here. -

It is important that all the paperwork must be sent with the parcel - just in case we have a literate post officer, it might work - anyways i am prepared for the worst.

You know what.his rifle. I have just ordered a Leapers scope for it. You must have guessed it...I am keeping it now. Will send you another one.

Also, I was sent a .22 not a .177 which is another disaster avioded. They charged me for a .177 though.

TenX · Post by **TenX** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 9:24 am

Pavan/Shamsher
Getting a .22 across could be rough water... The import relaxation to club members is for .177 only, AFAIK ...

one stupid question-can one get a .22 cal airgun via post

yash3_great · Post by **yash3_great** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 6:11 pm

No Andy you cannot. As TenX pointed out right before you, the import by post relaxation to club members is for .177 cal only.
