Dear Sir,

Do not remain silent and do reply the show cause notice. Engage an advocate who deals in such matters to draft the same . However I think you can not avoid the penalty.

That is really quite unfortunate as there are several companies that sell sex toys in India including durex. One would need to look into the substance of the allegations in the show cause notice and write a reply to the same and hopefully the matter would be concluded at this stage itself.

One would need to peruse the contents of the show cause notice.

The provisions you have pointed out do not really indicate the provisions under which such an import would be illegal.

If you have received the show cause notice,  you have to give a reply notice denying the allegations either by yourself or through your lawyer. 

You engage the services of an advocate who is having thorough knowledge in this subject and give a reply notice accordingly after which you will be relieved

As it banned under IPC. If the product is Confisticated then you need to pay fine of Maximum 5000/-

- Actually , there is no law stating that sex toys are not allowed in India.

- However, Section 292 of the IPC prevents the sale of any material or product that is ‘obscene’ in nature in India. But, no statement has been mentioned regarding the ‘Ban on Sex Toys in India

- Further, keeping sex toys at home for personal use , is not an offence unless the individual is private about its usage and functioning. Every individual has his/her private life and hence, they have the full right to do whatever they want to under those boundations.

- As per the website of Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Customs displayed a list of items that are prohibited for import. Pornographic and Obscene materials are covered under Prohibited items of this list , and under section 111(d) of Customs Act, this item is liable for confiscation and is also liable for penalty u/s 112 of Customs Act, 1962.

- Further, the Kolkata High Court addressed the issue whether sex toys sold in India comes under the charges of “obscenity”. The Court held that the charges on obscenity cannot be held as they were not legally sustainable. Just because the toy brings out sexual desires, it cannot be labeled as ‘obscene’.

- Since, you got notice from Custome Department , hence you should give the reply of the show cause notice to the department and appear for personal hearing , and thereby declare before them that the said items are for personal use and not for sale to other persons. 

- But if the items you ordered, is absolutely confiscated , then you will have to pay penalty .

If they are saying that you have to appear personally then you should appear before customs department.

Tell them that order was done due to ignorance and you are ready to pay fine give up the product.
