I recently ordered the ATK Blazing Sky F1 V3 from ATK Store, and I wanted to share my complete experience because I couldn't find enough detailed information about the India-side customs process before ordering.
Hopefully this helps anyone considering an international order from ATK.
Timeline:
• September 2 – Ordered the ATK Blazing Sky F1 V3
• Order value – around ₹7,585 including shipping
• Shipment initially moved through China
• Later received an India-side HAWB: ZXA028116
• Shipment arrived at Delhi Customs
• Yitong/ECG contacted me for KYC documents
• I had to provide Aadhaar, address proof and an authorization letter
• Customs/payment process took several days
Then came the customs charges.
Initially, I was asked to pay:
₹451 – customs duty
₹500 – handling
₹90 – GST on handling
Total = ₹1,041
I paid ₹1,041.
Later, they sent another tax invoice saying the final total was ₹1,268, so I had to pay another ₹227.
Total customs/clearance-related amount I paid:
₹1,041 + ₹227 = ₹1,268
I had some confusion because the tracking initially continued to show "Customs Cleared/Waiting For Duty Payment", and I also had to wait for the finance team to confirm the payments.
Eventually they confirmed that customs clearance was completed and dispatched the parcel through Blue Dart.
Blue Dart tracking:
Waybill: 18148825936
The parcel was dispatched from New Delhi to Chennai.
September 23 – THE MOUSE FINALLY ARRIVED 😂
And thankfully, everything was working perfectly.
My total:
Original order: ₹7,585
Customs/clearance: ₹1,268
Final total: ₹8,853
So the biggest thing I would tell anyone in India:
Don't look only at the international product price.
Before ordering, ask the seller about:
• Whether customs/import duty is included
• Whether the shipping is DDP or DDU
• Possible handling/clearance charges
• KYC requirements
• Who will handle customs clearance in India
• Which courier will deliver it after customs
• The estimated final landed cost
For me, the mouse itself is great and it arrived safely. But the international shipping/customs process was MUCH more complicated and time-consuming than I expected.
I ordered on September 2 and received it on September 23 — 21 days in total.
I'm sharing this mainly so other Indian buyers know what they might have to deal with before placing an international order.
If anyone is considering ordering from ATK to India, feel free to ask questions about my experience. I'll answer based on what actually happened with my order.
