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: 2921, amine-function compounds (amino group).
  • All lines under heading 2921 pay basic customs duty 7.5%; with social welfare surcharge and IGST 18% that makes about 27.73%.
  • No 8-digit line under heading 2921 names it, so it falls under one of its "Other" lines: 2921 11 90 (Methylamine, di- or trimethylamine and their salts › Other); 2921 19 90 (Other › Other); 2921 29 90 (Other › Other); 2921 30 90 (Cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic mono or polyamines, and their derivatives; s); 2921 41 90 (Aniline and its salts › Other); and 7 more. The other 69 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.
