Import Duty FAQs — India
BCD (Basic Customs Duty) is calculated as a percentage of the CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight) value of the imported goods. It's the primary import tax in India. Example: CIF value ₹1,00,000, BCD 10% → BCD payable = ₹10,000. Additionally, 10% SWS (Social Welfare Surcharge) is levied on BCD = ₹1,000.
Yes. If you're a GST-registered business and the imported goods are used for business purposes, you can claim full ITC on the IGST paid at import. This effectively makes the IGST cost-neutral for B2B importers. File GSTR-3B and claim the credit against your GST liability.
HS (Harmonised System) codes are 8-digit product classification codes. Find your HS code at: (1) CBIC Tariff website: cbic.gov.in/tariff (2) ICEGATE: icegate.gov.in (3) Ask your CHA (Customs House Agent). The HS code determines your exact BCD and IGST rates.
