Frequently asked questions

Why is the duty shown as "7.5%" instead of a single percentage?
Some tariff lines carry both an ad-valorem rate (7.5% of assessable value) and a specific duty (₹null per kg). Customs charges whichever works out higher, so on low-value consignments the specific duty usually governs. Quoting the percentage alone understates the liability — change the quantity and unit value above to see which one applies to your shipment.
Is IGST on apparel 5% or 18%?
Both, depending on retail price. From 22 September 2025, IGST on apparel is MRP-based: 5% where MRP is ₹2,500 or less, and 18% above that. The 12% slab was abolished. Confirm the MRP before you file.
Is Social Welfare Surcharge always 10% of BCD?
No — and assuming so is a common costing error. SWS is stated per tariff line and a notification can exempt it independently of the BCD actually charged. HS 7216.32.00 carries BCD of 7.5% but SWS of 0.75%. Always read the line, not the rule of thumb.
Does a Certificate of Origin remove the specific duty too?
No. An FTA concession lowers the ad-valorem BCD for a qualifying origin, but where the line carries a specific duty of ₹null per kg, the "whichever is higher" test still runs. A 0% preferential rate does not automatically mean zero Basic Customs Duty.
Is a garment always Chapter 61?
Only if it is knitted or crocheted. Chapter 61 covers knitted garments; Chapter 62 covers woven. The decision turns on fabric construction, not what the product is called. Getting it wrong changes the duty and the BIS position.
