Notes on these rates

BCD is the statutory tariff rate from a one-time snapshot of the Indian Trade Portal. Exemption notifications (such as 45/2025-Customs) and tariff changes made after the snapshot, including the Finance Act 2026 changes from 1 May 2026, are not applied.
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 not in the totals: 11/2021-Customs names these goods only in words or on a condition. For example S.No. 16AF of 11/2021-Customs (All goods other than goods covered under S. Nos. 317 and 318 of TABLE I of 45/2025-Customs: 67.5%; only for goods covered by another notification's entry (a condition the importer must meet)). Check the AIDC with your customs broker.
11/2018-Customs exempts some goods of this code from SWS only by name or on a condition, for example S.No. 57 of 11/2018-Customs (All goods falling under heading 8703 other than those covered under sub-item (a) of item (: Nil; only for goods covered by another notification's entry (a condition the importer must meet)). The totals charge SWS.
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.

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.
