Understanding India's import and export duty structure is one of the most critical steps in planning a successful cross-border trade. Whether you are importing agro commodities like rice, wheat, pulses, or edible oils, bringing in FMCG products such as soaps, shampoos, or packaged foods, or planning to export from India to global markets, the total landed cost of your shipment depends on a complex stack of levies — Basic Customs Duty (BCD), Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC), Integrated GST (IGST), Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS), and often additional charges like anti-dumping duties or port handling fees.
These rates are not static: India's duty structure changes frequently through Union Budget announcements, mid-year CBIC notifications, and DGFT policy orders — as seen with the BCD reduction on crude edible oils in May 2025, the reimposition of export duty on rice, and the sweeping IGST reforms of September 2025 that slashed rates on everyday personal care and packaged food products. Manually tracking these changes and calculating the cascading effect of multiple duties on a CIF or FOB value is time-consuming and prone to error.
Tradologie's India Import Export Duty Calculator — updated through March 2026 — simplifies this entirely. Select your product category, enter your shipment value and country of origin, and instantly get a full duty breakdown covering BCD, AIDC, IGST, SWS, and optional charges. Use it below to accurately estimate your customs liability before placing any trade order.
