3.)Is this office where we collect the duty tax located after immigration or before.
4.)Please let me know if there is any rules and regulations.
5.)Is it possible for a person having a student visa could claim the Duty Tax.
6.)What documents should be taken with.

Thanks for your kind reply. awaiting reply asap.
