How it's calculated

For an assessable value of ₹100:

  1. BCD = AV × 30% = ₹30.00
  2. AIDC = BCD × 30% = ₹9.00
  3. SWS = (BCD + AIDC) × 10% = ₹3.90(exemption notifications exist for this code; verify eligibility)
  4. IGST = (AV + BCD + AIDC + SWS) × 5% = ₹7.14
  5. Total Duty = BCD + AIDC + SWS + IGST = ₹50.05 (50.05%)

Notifications and exemptions can lower the effective rate for specific goods or FTA partner countries. Cross-check against the latest CBIC circulars before filing.

What is an HSN Code?

An HSN code (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is an internationally standardised numeric system to classify traded products. Indian customs extend it to an 8-digit ITC-HS code for more precise classification, taxation and compliance.

  • First 2 digits: Chapter (e.g. 15)
  • Digits 3–4: Heading
  • Digits 5–6: Subheading (WCO-aligned)
  • Last 2 digits: Indian ITC extension for added granularity

(c) safeguard duty in the present agreement without similar duty under ASEAN FTA would mean a futile safeguard duty, as the consumers would utilise benefit under ASEAN FTA. (d) in view of the above stated facts, it is considered that the bilateral safeguard duty imposed vide notifi- cation no. 29/2019-customs, dated 4th September, 2019 under the CECA on the import of Refined Bleached Deodorised Palm Oil" and "Refined Bleached Deodorised Palmolein" for a period of 180 days from the date of imposition of the provisional duty is sufficient in the present circumstances and it may not be necessary to impose safeguard duty beyond the current period of 180 days. and has confirmed the Preliminary Findings issued vide Notification No. 22/4/2019, dated the 26th August, 2019 and recommend that: - (a) bilateral safeguard duty may be imposed on imports of subject goods from the subject country in the form and manner described in the Preliminary findings issued vide Notification No. 22/4/2019 dated the 26th August, 2019 under the CECA on the import of Refined Bleached Deodorised Palm Oil" and "Re- fined Bleached Deodorised Palmolein" for a period of 180 days from the date of imposition of the provi- sional duty by the Central Government issued vide Notification No. 29/2019-Customs dated the 4th September, 2019.
