  • About ₹27,730 duty on every ₹1,00,000 of import value (CIF).
  • The EU customs inventory (ECICS) classifies it under CN 2931 90 00, so its HS subheading is 2931 90.
  • India splits subheading 2931 90 into 9 lines: 2931 90 11 (Organo-arsenic compounds › Methylarsonic acid and its salt); 2931 90 12 (Organo-arsenic compounds › Cacodylic acid and its salt); 2931 90 13 (Organo-arsenic compounds › p-Aminophenylarsonic acid and its salt); 2931 90 14 (Organo-arsenic compounds › Amino-hydroxyphenylarsonic acids, their formyl and ac); 2931 90 15 (Organo-arsenic compounds › Arsenobenzene and its derivatives); 2931 90 19 (Organo-arsenic compounds › Other); and 3 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" (2931 90 19, 2931 90 90).
  • Confirm the exact 8-digit line with your customs broker before you import.
