Customs Duty Advisory

Guidance on import/export classification, tariffs, and export-promotion schemes.

%
Overview

What this involves

With the rapid globalization of supply chains and India's evolving trade policies, proactive management of Customs Duty is critical for maintaining import-export margins. Navigating the dynamic landscape requires a deep understanding of classification, valuation, and strict adherence to the Customs Administration of Rules of Origin under Trade Agreements (CAROTAR).

We assist importers and exporters in decoding the complexities of Basic Customs Duty (BCD), Integrated GST (IGST), and the Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS). Our team optimizes your landed costs by leveraging the latest duty-free import limits and unlocking concessional duty rates available under India's newly operationalized FTAs with countries like UAE, Australia, Oman, and the UK.

Beyond tariff optimization, we ensure robust compliance on the ICEGATE portal. We guide manufacturing units and SEZs in navigating the one-time concessional DTA sales frameworks and protect your shipments from costly delays at ports through meticulous documentation, robust HSN classification, and strong defense during Special Valuation Branch (SVB) investigations.

How we help

  • Tariff & FTA Optimization: We maximize your duty savings by aligning your imports with the latest Union Budget 2026 rationalizations and strictly complying with CAROTAR rules to secure FTA benefits.
  • HSN Classification & Valuation: We provide precise product classification and represent multinational clients before the Special Valuation Branch (SVB) to justify transfer prices between related parties.
  • Export Incentive Management: We help you capitalize on the newly extended export realization timelines and enhanced duty-free input allowances to make your global operations more competitive.
  • Seamless ICEGATE Compliance: We handle the intricacies of digital customs compliance, ensuring your bill of entry and shipping bill documentation avoids automated flags and clearance delays.
