How the calculations work

Import duty

Assessable value (AV) = CIF value × exchange rate. If you only have an FOB price, freight is added (or 20% of FOB when freight is unknown) and insurance at 1.125% of FOB when not given, as per the Customs Valuation Rules.

  • BCD = AV × BCD rate
  • SWS = BCD × SWS rate (10% for most goods)
  • IGST = (AV + BCD + SWS + other duties) × IGST rate
  • Compensation cess, where applicable, is on the same value as IGST

RoDTEP

Benefit = lower of (RoDTEP rate × FOB value in ₹) and (cap per unit × quantity), for each shipping bill line. Lines without a cap get the full rate on FOB.

Disclaimer

EximIQ is an information tool, not legal or customs advice. Rates change through Union Budgets and gazette notifications, and many goods carry an effective rate different from the tariff rate because of exemption notifications, AIDC, anti-dumping or safeguard duties, or FTA concessions.

Most BCD rates shown are the chapter's standard statutory rate and are marked as such. Always confirm the rate for your exact HSN on ICEGATE, the CBIC customs tariff, or with your customs broker before filing a Bill of Entry, and confirm RoDTEP rates and scheme validity on DGFT before relying on a claim.
