How the Result Is Worked Out

What you enter

  • Unit Price (USD)
  • Quantity
  • Exchange Rate (USD to INR)
  • International Freight (INR)
  • BCD Rate (%)
  • IGST Rate (%)
  • CHA & Port Handling (INR)

How it is calculated

  1. Assessable Value (CIF) = FOB Product Value + Freight + Insurance (1.125% of FOB)
  2. Basic Customs Duty (BCD) = Assessable Value × BCD Rate
  3. Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS) = BCD × 10%
  4. Integrated GST (IGST) = (Assessable Value + BCD + SWS) × IGST Rate
  5. Total Landed Cost = Assessable Value + BCD + SWS + IGST + Port Clearance

What you get

  • Total CIF Assessable Value
  • Basic Customs Duty (BCD)
  • Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS)
  • Claimable IGST Credit
  • Total Landed Cost
  • Effective Landed Cost Per Unit

The result is an estimate for planning. Duty rates, freight and exchange rates change; confirm them for your product before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the IGST paid?

Yes! Integrated GST (IGST) paid at Indian customs is 100% eligible for Input Tax Credit against your domestic GST liabilities.

Why is insurance calculated at 1.125%?

Under Indian Customs Valuation rules, if an importer does not provide proof of actual insurance premium, customs assesses insurance at a statutory 1.125% of the FOB value.
