The cascade
How India calculates import duty
Every courier import into India is taxed in a fixed sequence. First, customs establishes the assessable value: the price of the goods plus international freight and insurance (CIF). Basic Customs Duty (BCD) and its add-on cesses - the Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC) and the Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS) - are charged on that assessable value; the rates on this site show them pre-combined into a single customs percentage per HS code. Finally, IGST is charged on the whole duty-inclusive amount, so the tax compounds: you pay GST on the duty too.
- Goods value
- INR 20,000
- International freight
- INR 2,000
- Assessable value (CIF = goods + freight)
- INR 22,000
- Customs duty (22% of CIF: BCD + cesses combined)
- INR 4,840
- IGST (18% of CIF + duty)
- INR 4,831
- Landed cost
- INR 31,671
One nuance worth knowing: if you are a GST-registered business, the IGST you pay at import is creditable as input tax credit - BCD and SWS are not. And where an anti-dumping duty is notified for a product and origin, it applies in addition to everything above.
