- No tariff line names this chemical, so we worked out its likely heading from its structure: 2918, carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function (an ester, classified by its carboxylic acid group).
- All lines under heading 2918 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
- No 8-digit line under heading 2918 names it, so it falls under one of its "Other" lines: 2918 11 90 (Lactic acid, its salts and esters › Other); 2918 13 90 (Salts and esters of tartaric acid › Other); 2918 15 90 (Salts and esters of citric acid › Other); 2918 16 90 (Gluconic acid, its salts and esters › Other); 2918 19 90 (Other › Other); and 5 more.
