Import dutyOK

About 27.73% of the import value
  • About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
  • The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 3204 13 00, so its HS subheading is 3204 13.
  • India splits subheading 3204 13 into 18 lines: 3204 13 10 (Basic dyes and preparations based thereon › Basic azo dyes); 3204 13 21 (Basic yellow (non-azo) › Yellow 2 (auramine O)); 3204 13 29 (Basic yellow (non-azo) › Other); 3204 13 31 (Basic red (non-azo) › Red 1 (rhodamine 6 G)); 3204 13 39 (Basic red (non-azo) › Other); 3204 13 41 (Basic violet (non-azo) › Violet 1 (methyl Violet)); and 12 more.
  • Basic customs duty 7.5% on every one of them; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
  • Lines that name a chemical are for that chemical; one that no line names goes under "Other" (3204 13 29, 3204 13 39, 3204 13 49).
  • Confirm the exact 8-digit line with your customs broker before you import.
