You would have to wait. Sometimes customs clearance may take up to several weeks and you can’t accelerate the process.

Sir the custom will issue a show cause notice,and can also arrest you as it is restricted item in the FTP, so it is better to approach custom officials and settle the issue as it for personal use they can settle the issue . In case any charges are framed then it will be a issue and Anticipatory bail need to be obtained.

It all depends upon sections. Usually some fine will be imposed. It is not a so big issue. The power of imposing sentence lies with the Courts.

You may contact the custom officers regarding the consignment your order from aliexpress you can give an affidavit that you was not aware of the restrictions on the product to be purchased from outside India without licence you can also offers in the everyday wit that you are going to avoid any penalty if imposed in this regard

You would be issued show cause notice as to why rifle should not be confiscated and penalty not imposed upon you

Persons involved in smuggling and other modus operandi of imports and exports, in violation of prohibitions/ restrictions in vogue or with intent to evade duties or fraudulently claim export incentives are liable to serious penal action under the Customs Act. The offending goods can be confiscated and heavy fines and penalties imposed. There are also provisions for arrests and prosecution to deter them from smuggling and commercial frauds-which seriously affect the economy and even society at large when it comes to sensitive goods like drugs, arms and ammunition. The following paras briefly indicate the provisions in law for seizure, confiscation of goods, imposition of penalties by adjudication. Later paras indicate the arrests and prosecution provisions.

Seizure

An officer of Customs can seize any goods, if he has reason to believe that the same are liable to confiscation, under the Customs Act. The proper officer may also seize any document or things that may be relevant to any proceedings under the Custom Act. However, the person from whom these documents are seized is entitled to make copies of the same.

The person from whom the goods are seized is issued a show cause notice, usually within six months. However, the Commissioner of Customs, on sufficient cause being shown, can extend the time period for issue of Show cause notice, by a further six months.

In case the seized goods are perishable or hazardous in nature or is prone to depreciate in value over time or for reasons of constraints in space, the government can notify these goods and these goods can be disposed off before the conclusion of the proceedings eg. All electronic goods, Currency, Liquors, P&P medicine, Gold, Silver etc.

Confiscation

The word ‘confiscation’ implies appropriation consequential to seizure. The essence and the concept of confiscation is that after confiscation, the property of the confiscated goods vests with the Central Government.

The adjudicating authority makes the decision regarding confiscation of goods. The specific/ different categories of violations under which the import or export goods are liable to confiscation, are enumerated in Section 111 and 113 of the Customs Act. In general, the goods that are attempted to be smuggled into or out of the country, by route other than land routes or is attempted to be cleared by way of misdeclaration in quantity, description or value etc are liable to be confiscated. The import or exported goods are also liable to confiscation if there is an intention to evade Customs duty or to fraudulently avail the benefits available under various export promotion schemes, such as duty drawback, DEPB, 100% EOU etc.

They will send notice to you to pay customs penalty for whatever reason it is seized by them.

You can reply yourself but its better to contact lawyer as he can handle the issue better.

It depends on under what section they have seized the goods.

No. You will need to visit custom's office.

It can create legal issue if the rifle you order is banned in India. So its better to take help of good lawyer in this.

You cannot import a restricted item.

Have you received any notice.

If not await the notice and you may plan to initiate legal process after that to save your skin.

They will first send a show cause notice.

Police will not be involved in this stage.

You can give a reply by yourself or can engage a lawyer to send a reply from your side.

The customs have rights to confiscate and prosecute you.

Not necessary you can give a reply notice through your lawyer.

You must wait and watch.

You do not have to contact the authorities directly but have to wait for them to send the notice to you. If the product has not been dispatched asyet, you should try to cancel the order.

You just received a notice from the authorities and no police would be sent in such case. As it is just a scope, in all likelihood you would be left after paying some penalty and the product would be confiscated by the custom authorities.

First I will advise to contact the courier company because they will give you best way as they may dealing such problems daily.

Secondly there is no problem if you go there and ask the reason because they may ask you the simple question related to your licence and necessity,so please go there don't worry and take steps accordingly they are not going to or shall be interested to sue you.

They will send notice first.contact a lawyer and if they send a notice then draft a reply and if they are not satisfied then they'll call you to Chennai.
