Effective import duty stack

Live values from India's ICEGATE customs calculator, computed on an assessable value of ₹100.

Total Duty28.47%≈ ₹28.47 per ₹100 of CIF
How it's calculated

For an assessable value of ₹100:

  1. BCD = AV × 7.5% = ₹7.50
  2. AIDC = BCD × 7.5% = ₹0.56
  3. SWS = (BCD + AIDC) × 10% = ₹0.81
  4. IGST = (AV + BCD + AIDC + SWS) × 18% = ₹19.60
  5. Total Duty = BCD + AIDC + SWS + IGST = ₹28.47 (28.47%)

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

FTA preferential rates

Basic Customs Duty (BCD) under each Free Trade Agreement India is party to. Sourced from ITC's Market Access Map (MACMAP, 2025). Other duties (AIDC, SWS, IGST, Cess) typically still apply on top — see the Effective duty stack above for those.

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. 84)
  • Digits 3–4: Heading
  • Digits 5–6: Subheading (WCO-aligned)
  • Last 2 digits: Indian ITC extension for added granularity

Why is the right HSN code important?

  • Ensures correct calculation of customs duties and taxes.
  • Required for shipping bills, bills of entry, GST filings and FTA certificates of origin.
  • Helps avoid clearance delays, penalties or reclassification disputes.
Tip: Always cross-check the 8-digit code against the latest DGFT / Customs schedule before filing.
