Import dutyCHECK

About 30.98% of the import value (depends on the line)
  • About ₹30,980 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF). Some lines under this subheading pay a different rate.
  • The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 2933 59 95, so its HS subheading is 2933 59.
  • India splits subheading 2933 59 into 6 lines: 2933 59 10 (Other › Aminophylline (cordophylin)); 2933 59 20 (Other › Trimethoprim); 2933 59 30 (Other › Diethyl carbamazine citrate); 2933 59 40 (Other › 1-Amino-4-Methyl piperazine); 2933 59 50 (Other › Bispyribac-sodium (ISO)), duty 7.5%; 2933 59 90 (Other › Other).
  • Basic customs duty 10% on 5 of them; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 30.98%.
  • Lines that name a chemical are for that chemical; one that no line names goes under "Other" (2933 59 90).
  • Confirm the exact 8-digit line with your customs broker before you import.
