Notes on these rates

The statutory rates come from a one-time snapshot of the Indian Trade Portal (CBIC's tariff of 30.06.2025). Changes the Finance Act 2026 made to the tariff from 1 May 2026 are not in it.
Notification 45/2025-Customs (Table I, S.No. 300) sets a standard rate of 10% for these goods. The statutory rate, 10%, is lower, so that is what customs charges.
Table I of 45/2025-Customs also has 17 entries that cover this code for named goods or on a condition (for example S.No. 175: 5%, condition 3). They lower the duty only if the importer meets the condition, so they are not in the totals.
IGST comes from our archived GST table, which still has the 12% and 28% slabs, so it may pre-date the GST rate changes of 22 September 2025. Check the current rate.
AIDC, Health Cess and the SWS exemptions are read from notifications 11/2021-Customs, 08/2020-Customs and 11/2018-Customs as amended (to 16/2026-Customs), and the notifications that lower AIDC for a while. SWS is 10% of BCD, AIDC and Health Cess together (Finance Act 2018, s.110), never of anti-dumping, countervailing or safeguard duty or IGST.
AIDC is Nil (S.No. 17 of 11/2021-Customs, which exempts all goods it does not name).
Not included: GST compensation cess, anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard duties, and exemptions or concessions such as end-use, EOU/SEZ or project imports.
This does not check whether the import is allowed (DGFT import policy, licences, quality-control orders). The HS code explorer shows the import policy.
This is an estimate, not an assessment. Confirm the duty with your customs broker or ICEGATE's duty calculator before you price a deal.

GST

IGST on imports is the GST rate. Rates changed on 22 September 2025.

Now 18%.
Until 21 September 2025 12%, 18% or 28%, depending on the goods.
Change: Changed.

Exporting from India

Export duty

Nil. The Second Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act does not list these goods, so no export duty is charged.

Duty drawback (All Industry Rates)

All Industry Rates of duty drawback under this heading
Drawback item	Goods	Rate	Cap
8528	Monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus; reception apparatus for television, whether or not incorporating radio-broadcast receivers or sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus	1%	—

Drawback items follow the 4-digit heading, not the 8-digit code: claim the one that describes your goods. Rates of notification 77/2023-Customs (N.T.) as amended, in force on 20 Oct 2026.

Export incentives (RoDTEP and RoSCTL)

RoDTEP, Appendix 4R (exports from the domestic tariff area): 0.7% of the FOB value, until 31 Dec 2026.
RoDTEP, Appendix 4RE (exports under Advance Authorisation, EOU or SEZ): 0.4% of the FOB value, until 31 Dec 2026.

Export policy (DGFT ITC(HS) Schedule 2)

Free.

What buyers pay abroad: import duty in the US, UK, EU and Australia for 8528 59, and China's below.

China: the same goods (8528 59)

China shares the first 6 digits with India and splits them into 10-digit codes of its own: 3 in force and 3 expired under 8528 59. Exporters see what China charges Indian goods; importers see the rebate and licences their Chinese supplier deals with.

China's tariff for these goods
China code	Goods	Duty on Indian goods	MFN	Import VAT	Export rebate	Licences
8528.59.10.20	Displays for aircraft航空器用显示器	1%China's provisional rate, lower than MFN	20%	13%	13%	6
8528.59.10.90	Other colour monitors其他彩色的监视器	13%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	20%	13%	13%	6
8528.59.90.00	Other monochrome monitors其他单色的监视器	6.5%APTA rate, with an APTA certificate of origin	10%	13%	13%	6

India is a member of the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA). With an APTA certificate of origin, Indian goods pay China's APTA rate where the line has one; China applies the lower of that and its provisional rate.
The export VAT rebate is what China refunds its own exporters. When China cuts it, Chinese export prices tend to rise.
