Import dutyOK

About 27.73% of the import value (estimate)
  • About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
  • No tariff line names this chemical, so we worked out its likely heading from its structure: 2909, ethers, ether-alcohols, ether-phenols and peroxides (ether or peroxide group).
  • All lines under heading 2909 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
  • No 8-digit line under heading 2909 names it, so it falls under one of its "Other" lines: 2909 19 90 (Other › Other); 2909 30 19 (Anisole and their derivatives › Other); 2909 30 90 (Aromatic ethers and their halogenated, sulphonated nitrated or nitrosated deriva); 2909 44 00 (Ether-alcohols and their halogenated, sulphonated nitrated or nitrosated derivat); 2909 49 90 (Other); and 1 more. The other 19 lines are for named chemicals; which "Other" line applies depends on the exact structure.
  • Confirm the exact 8-digit code with your customs broker before you import.
