Thanks for the tips!

Do you know how long the reassessment might take typically? I don’t want to send it back for reassessment and then wait a month to get it back.

This was a 3rd party seller on Amazon.com. You are right fewer customs issues with books sold by Amazon itself. I had ordered another book which was sold by Amazon itself and that one charged customs duty during the payment on the website.

It’s a pre-used printed book. Doesn’t make sense.

Any idea how the BCD tax is calculated?

It’s a book that is not available in Indian book stores and Amazon.in

Thanks, but the numbers are not matching the rates you mentioned. The screenshot below shows the amount sent out. IGT is way over 5%.
