Hi, I wanted to inform you of an injustice towards Mauritian consumers - apparently the government secretly changed the laws for importing goods for personal use. Before, there was a limit upto Rs10000 at which someone could import or buy something from Ebay for personal use, now they have reduced it to Rs2000!!! For Individual Buyer: Rs 0- Rs 2000 Custom charges exempted. Rs 2001 to Rs 30,000 You Pay 20% as custom clearance charges Rs 30,001 its 60% directly. For Businesses its 15% flat rate This means, if you buy an item which costs Rs2001 or more, you need to go through a courtier maritime who can charge Rs1500 only to take the good out of customs. Same as the bogus rule of ICTA restricting import of wireless appliances. Why? just to force people to buy things more expensive from petits copains in Mauritius? It is the first time I see such restrictions in a country. VIRER MAM!
