Import dutyOK
- 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: 2914, ketones and quinones (ketone group).
- All lines under heading 2914 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
- No 8-digit line under heading 2914 names it, so it falls under one of its "Other" lines: 2914 19 90 (Other › Other); 2914 23 90 (Ionones and methylionones › Other); 2914 29 90 (Other › Other); 2914 39 90 (Other › Other); 2914 69 90 (Other › Other); and 1 more. The other 30 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.
