Founder Flags Nvidia Jetson Customs Delay, Shipment Cleared

A startup founder in India named Ramakrishna Kompella was trying to bring two Nvidia Jetson AI modules into the country for research.

Customs held the shipment for two weeks because they wanted three certificates that the founder said were not needed for his internal use.

Kompella kept sending answers but got the same short reply each time.

The customs office eventually said the shipment was cleared, but it still needed to pay duty.

The founder thanked people for their help and said the whole process shows India’s customs need improvement.

The incident was shared on social media and prompted other business leaders to call for reforms.

The modules were finally released, and the company can now use them for their projects.

This story highlights how complicated import rules can be for small tech companies.

It also shows that clear communication with customs can help resolve delays.

The founder hopes the experience will lead to smoother procedures in the future.
