These are indicative figures. Duty rates change at every Budget and classification is decided by the officer, not by this page. Confirm your HS code and rate with a licensed customs broker before you commit money.

Common questions

Is BIS certification required for Phone case (leather / imitation leather)?

Our reading of the published CRS list is that it does not appear there, so no BIS CRS registration is required. You still need an IEC from DGFT and LMPC registration for retail packaging. Verify against the current list before shipping.

What HS code applies?

We classify it under HS 42023290. Classification is finally decided by the assessing officer, so confirm with your customs broker — the wrong heading changes both the duty rate and the compliance requirements.

What is the import duty?

Our indicative basic customs duty is 10%, plus a social welfare surcharge of 10% of the BCD, plus IGST at 18%. Confidence in this rate: low. Check it on the ICEGATE calculator before you commit money.

Is the GST recoverable?

Yes, if you are GST registered. IGST paid at import is input credit against your output GST. Basic customs duty and the surcharge are not recoverable — they are permanent cost.

Worth knowing

Different heading to plastic cases — classify by material, not by use.
