Helmets

[a.umesh]

A little while back a cousin of mine has send across a AGV GP Pro helmet from Dubai. He picked it from Motorcycle 3000 (a famous motorcycle store in Midle East) and paid close to pounds for it.

Checked the AGV official website and looked up for the store and " Motorcycle 3000" is mentioned under the Store Locator section in Middle East . (AGV) . Registered the lid using few numbers given , bill, warranty no etc on the site.

Since he had couriered the lid across, had to pay 12,800 INR as Customs at the Airport . Here are the pics.

congrats bro!! such a good lid!! liked it!!

Hello, everyone.

I would like to know whether its a bad idea to put sun-control film on a helmet visor. Will a small tint affect night riding?

no need because it wont last long & u wont get proper finishing better keep it plain which branded helmet do u use? normally many company provides mild tinted visor.

Well the "brand" is Biker. I dont know about its reputation but ive seen a lot of them around. Plus it has an ISI mark. It does not have a tint. I want better looks and prevent scratches because i dont think i will get replacement visors for it! Its an el-cheapo helmet!

great looking helmet!!!! how much did you pay for shipping and custom duties. when i searched the net i found out that the duties amounts to around 175 to 200 rupees (a rough calculation of all taxes) per thousand rupees worth of the item that we have shipped. ie if we buy a helmet for 5000 rupees we end up paying somewhere close to 1000 rupees in duties. is it true? elsewhere someone told about a flat duty rate of 37.5 % of the cost of the item, but on searching i found out that it is for excess baggage above the specified rs 25,000 cap.i doubt it will be applied on the shipped items. however somewhere on this thread a member who bought a rossi replica lid had to dish out 12,800 as custom duties, now that sets me thinking .the highest price for that replica helmet was $600 which should be somewhere around 30k INR. according to the rates of taxes given on the custom website the duty should be around 6000 INR ,then how come he had to pay 12,800. iam totally confused. Iam planning to do some serious shopping online and now iam scared of the duties. kindly guide me into this.can you please quote the exact amount you paid for the item, shippingduties seperately in INR so that it can give me an idea about what to expect . Indian custom rules are very complicated.dont know how they calculate all these duties. or Am I missing something?? hopeyou would help.
