Frequently Asked Questions on Import Landed Cost
Essential compliance insights before placing purchase orders with Chinese suppliers.
Can I claim back the 18% or 28% IGST paid at Indian customs? expand_more
Yes, 100%. If you import under a registered commercial entity with an active GSTIN and IEC, the entire Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) paid on the Bill of Entry is credited automatically to your Electronic Credit Ledger in GST Portal (GSTR-2B). You can fully offset this credit against your domestic sales GST liabilities.
What happens if the Indian Customs officer disputes my declared FOB invoice value? expand_more
Indian Customs utilizes the National Import Database (NIDB) to compare declared values against identical recent imports. If under-invoicing is suspected, they may issue a query for reassessment. ChinaImport.in mitigates this risk entirely: our sourcing desk validates the manufacturer invoice, matches actual bank telegraphic transfer (TT) slips, and presents genuine export declarations from China to guarantee smooth clearance without value loading.
How is CBM calculated for Sea LCL shipments? expand_more
Cubic Meters (CBM) is calculated by multiplying Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m) of outer export cartons. For sea freight, carriers apply the "1 CBM = 1,000 KG" volumetric ratio. The billed freight is calculated on whichever is higher between actual gross metric weight and volumetric CBM. Our calculator automatically handles this assessment.
Do I need an Import Export Code (IEC) to book through ChinaImport.in? expand_more
For direct B2B imports where you claim GST credit and own the consignment on ICEGATE, you will need your entity's IEC and AD Code registered at the discharge port. If you are a new enterprise without an IEC yet, our trade team can either guide you through DGFT IEC issuance in 24 hours or assist through our institutional trading desk framework.
