How the Ceramic Tableware Import Duty Calculator India works

AV = (FOB + F + I) × R; BCD = AV × b; AIDC = AV × a; SWS = (BCD + AIDC) × s; IGST = (AV + BCD + AIDC + SWS) × g

This page uses the same method as the India Import Duty Calculator, which explains each term and assumption in full.

Worked example

A shipment of ceramic dishes and tableware from China invoiced at $8,000 FOB (HS 6912 00 40), with freight and insurance not separately known.

  1. 1At ₹95.96 to the dollar the FOB value is ₹7,67,678; adding 20% freight and 1.125% insurance gives an assessable value of ₹9,29,850
  2. 2BCD at 20% is ₹1,85,970
  3. 3SWS at 10% of the customs duty adds ₹18,597
  4. 4IGST at 5% on ₹11,34,418 is ₹56,721

Duty and IGST come to ₹2,61,288, 28.1% of the assessable value, for a landed cost of ₹11,91,138. A GST-registered importer claims the IGST back, leaving ₹11,34,418.

Frequently asked questions

What is the HS code for ceramic dishes and tableware?

Usually 6912 00 40: "Ceramic tableware and kitchenware, other than porcelain or china". The last digits can change with material, power or use, and the duty can change with them, so check the full heading against your product before filing.

Is porcelain charged differently from stoneware?

It has its own heading: porcelain and bone china go under 6911, and other ceramics such as stoneware and earthenware under 6912. Both are at 20% BCD, so the duty is the same, but using the right heading avoids a query at the port.

Does ceramic tableware attract anti-dumping duty?

Anti-dumping duties on ceramic goods from China have been investigated and imposed from time to time, for specific products and exporters, and are not included here. Check the current DGTR findings for your product before placing a large order.
