How is the landed cost from China to India calculated?

Landed cost = CIF (goods + international freight) + Basic Customs Duty (a % of CIF by HS code) + a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge on the duty + IGST (commonly 18%) on the duty-inclusive value. iWishBag pre-calculates it into one all-in quote.

What taxes apply on imports into India?
