How much custom duty in india

Customs duty in India is not a single fixed rate but a combination of various taxes determined by a product's HSN code. The primary components include:
  • Basic Customs Duty (BCD): Typically ranging from 0% to 35%, with a peak rate often around 10% for many industrial goods.
  • Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS): Generally levied at 10% of the BCD.
  • Integrated GST (IGST): Applied at standard slabs of 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28% on the sum of the assessable value and other duties.
Special items like tobacco or luxury cars may attract additional cesses.
