Calculated the way Indian customs does it. Assessable value = invoice at the CBIC customs rate + freight + insurance (1.125% of the invoice when the actual figure isn't known). BCD and AIDC are charged on the assessable value, SWS on the BCD, and IGST on the assessable value plus all duties. The supplier payment uses the bank (ECB) rate. Rates marked Indicative are our estimate: confirm the exact rate for your product description and HSN code before filing.
How this calculator works
Indian customs charges duty on the CIF value — your goods plus freight and insurance. If you don't know your insurance cost, customs adds 1.125% of FOB, which we use here.
- Basic Customs Duty = CIF × BCD rate
- Social Welfare Surcharge = 10% of BCD
- IGST = (CIF + BCD + SWS) × IGST rate
