I faced similar situation sometime ago. I am running a cricket team here for 11 years. Every year, I used to bring the sporting gears for the team from overseas. Last year, the package came on hold in the same Batha office. I was expecting that they might apply some duty for which I was ready. But they said that they can't release as it's not allowed. It was told that as this was a new law and I was unaware of this, the best they can do is to return it from where it came. And I was told from now on, buy from local market.

I told them my scenario but they didn't bought it and the good were returned and were received by the sender around after 10 days.

After that I am so confused about the law that I am not importing even my personal items.
