How It Works
Describe the goods
Plain-language description plus an optional 6/8-digit HS code and ISO country of origin.
Six capability legs run
Duty stack + DGFT policy, QCO/CRS, EPR, allied agencies, SCOMET, FTA/origin and trade-remedy regime are evaluated against source-cited datasets.
Review-guided verdict
Every unresolved item is listed for a qualified Indian customs practitioner. We never assert clearance-readiness.
Policy Glossary
The terms behind the verdict — so the report reads as clearly as your customs broker would want it to.
BCD
Basic Customs Duty — the ad-valorem duty charged under the First Schedule of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.
IGST
Integrated Goods & Services Tax — calculated on its statutory import-tax base. Social Welfare Surcharge is a separate customs levy, generally calculated with reference to BCD where payable.
DGFT policy limb
The Import Policy statement in ITC(HS) Schedule-1 — Free, Restricted, Prohibited, State Trading, Footnoted conditions, and the NSOP framework.
Free / conditional Free
'Free' generally means no DGFT import authorisation solely by policy status. Any attached condition must be read from the current tariff-line note; it cannot be inferred from an asterisk alone.
Restricted (Restd)
Import requires a DGFT import authorisation/licence; the footnote defines the exact condition.
Prohibited (Proh)
Import is prohibited under any ITC(HS), DGFT, or other applicable law.
STE
State Trading Enterprise — import is reserved to the designated public enterprise(s) listed in the policy.
MIP
Minimum Import Price — imports are free but priced below a notified MIP flag monitoring and valuation checks.
NFMIMS
Non-Ferrous Metal Import Monitoring System — free import, subject to online registration before customs clearance.
QCO
Quality Control Order issued under the BIS Act, 2016. Applicability depends on the exact notified product, Indian Standard, commencement date and exemptions; Scheme-I QCO and MeitY CRS are distinct routes.
CRS
Compulsory Registration Scheme — BIS registration for electronic products prior to import.
EPR
Extended Producer Responsibility — product/category and statutory-role analysis under Plastic Waste, E-Waste or Battery Waste Management Rules; importer status alone does not settle every obligation.
SCOMET
Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies — DGFT export-sense list; dual-use diligence is required for re-export reasonableness, it is not an ECCN equivalent.
FTA / RoO
Free Trade Agreement / Rules of Origin — a preference is claimable only with qualifying origin and a certificate; schedule rates are verified separately.
ADD / CVD
Anti-Dumping Duty / Countervailing Duty — trade-remedy duties imposed after DGTR investigation; our register flags the regime and points to DGTR/CBIC for live rates.
