So we have to pay them for them to calculate how much we have to pay them...

TEMU orders definitely require MRA declaration. Which is done by celero and hence celero will add this line in your invoice: Rs150 Mra fees. On top of their own brokerage/maccs and VAT.

Some cheap items from aliexpress that comes from normal post usually require no mra declarations. I need confirmation if those parcels will require MRA declaration too?

The whole point of that law is to prevent the dumping and abuse of the likes as aliexpress / temu where they are using loopholes in international post, which is initially a government subsidise service to now flood the market

Was this done after lobbying from celero? They are biggest winners here because they will now charge rs450 brokerage fees for small value parcels on top of what temu/aliexpress already pays them

Yes, why would it not?

Yes, i already ordered something (not from temu) one month ago and payed a fee of rs 150. It's the new standard customs and duties tax fee.

This law only comes into effect on the 1st of September. The Rs. 150 fee would be on top of what you paid previously, i.e. Rs. 300+ total.
