Frequently Asked Questions

For Apparel & Textiles (Chapter 62), the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) is 20%. Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS) at 10% of BCD is 2.00%. IGST at 5% is charged on CIF + BCD + SWS. Always verify the latest rates in the Customs Tariff before import.

Yes — IGST paid on imports is eligible for Input Tax Credit (ITC) by GST-registered businesses. The credit can be used to offset output GST liability. This effectively means the IGST component is not a cost for businesses (only BCD + SWS are the actual cost).

SWS is 10% of the BCD amount (not on CIF value directly). It funds social welfare schemes. SWS applies to most imported goods. It is not eligible for ITC credit, making it an add-on cost for importers.
