Customs Slabs & Tax Rules
To clear customs without delays, every importer must classify their cargo with the correct Harmonized System (HS) code. Local tax structures vary widely:
- Basic Customs Duty (BCD): Applied as a percentage on the CIF/FOB value of goods.
- Value Added Tax (VAT / GST): Local taxes applied on the cumulative landed cost (value + duties + freight).
- Special Surcharges: Anti-dumping levies, environmental cess, or luxury tax adjustments.
