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: 2924, carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid (amide group).
  • All lines under heading 2924 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
  • No 8-digit line under heading 2924 names it, so it falls under one of its "Other" lines: 2924 19 00 (Acyclic amides (including acyclic carbamates) and their derivatives; salts there); 2924 21 90 (Ureines and their derivatives; salts thereof › Other); 2924 29 90 (Other › Other). The other 14 lines are for named chemicals; which "Other" line applies depends on the exact structure.
