Import Duty Calculator: a quick guide
Know your landed cost before you buy. Here's how to use our free import duty calculator in under a minute.
Buying stock abroad and not sure what it'll really cost once it clears customs? The Import Duty Calculator turns the duty stack into a single landed-cost figure so you can price with confidence.
What you'll need
- The goods value (and freight/insurance if you want the CIF basis).
- The Basic Customs Duty rate — driven by your HSN code.
- The IGST rate for the product.
- Whether compensation cess applies (most products: no).
Using the calculator step by step
- Open the Import Duty Calculator.
- Enter the assessable (CIF) value of your shipment.
- Enter the BCD % and IGST % (look them up via the HSN Code Finder).
- Read off the BCD, SWS, IGST and total duty, plus your landed cost.
- Compare landed cost against your expected selling price to check margin.
Turning landed cost into a selling price
Once you know landed cost per unit, add your operating costs, marketplace fees and target margin. Then use the Reverse GST Calculator to set a clean, GST-inclusive MRP for customers.
Plan your registrations too
Importers often store goods in more than one state for faster delivery. If that's you, check the Multi-state GST Checker and our guide on importing to sell on Amazon India.
