Well finally I managed to sneak to the cargo terminal from office again before 1 PM today to collect my DVDs. I went straight to the senior official who had earlier called me. Showed him my import duty clearances and other documents. The officer took out the Amazon Box from his cupboard and handed me the documents. I was then escorted to the Kuwait Customs cell for ‘taftish’ or ‘checking’ of some sorts. Well I thought they would actually play the DVD to check its contents. But in that office someone came in checked my papers, signed it and handed me the DVDs finally.

So the experience has been a good one so far except for the KD 4.500/- I had to pay additional to the cost of DVDs.

BTW when I took out the DVDs they were totally sealed, so I wonder what they did with them in the first place confiscating it.

Anyhow I am now off to home to watch the movie ‘Message’.

Moral of the story:

I was shown many packages containing DVDs etc.  from Amazon which are still uncollected. So guys go ahead and get them cleared. Just be there by 10am and you would be off to home with your DVDs by noon. P.S. don’t forget to take cash and some change too.
