Measured tools (6)

• lookup_hs_code read-only

  Returns the Indian customs duty profile for an 8-digit ITC-HS code on goods imported from China: product description, Basic Customs Duty (BCD), Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS), Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC), IGST, anti-dumping duty, minimum import price, import policy and compliance notes (BIS, WPC, FSSAI, EPR). Data maintained by IFC - Imports From China.

  Parameters:

  • hs_code (required) — string — 8-digit Indian ITC-HS code, e.g. 85395200

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• search_hs_code read-only

  Searches IFC's Indian import duty database by product words (e.g. "bluetooth speaker", "office chair") or by the first digits of an HS code, and returns up to 10 matching 8-digit codes with descriptions.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Product words or the start of an HS code

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• estimate_landed_cost read-only

  Estimates the door-to-door landed cost in INR of importing goods from China to India with IFC: invoice value, IFC freight/clearance/delivery, insurance, customs duties (BCD, SWS, AIDC) and IGST, using the same engine as the calculator on importsfromchina.com. Estimate only; IFC confirms the final quote. Give weight_kg, cbm or both. If one is not known, leave it out and IFC uses an approximate figure for it (approx idea only; use the exact values from the supplier if available).

  Parameters:

  • hs_code (required) — string — 8-digit Indian ITC-HS code
  • invoice_value (required) — number — Supplier invoice value in the chosen currency
  • cbm — number — Total volume in cubic metres. Optional: if left out, IFC estimates it from weight_kg and the product type.
  • mode — string
  • cartons — number — Optional number of cartons (improves the CBM estimate when cbm is not given)
  • currency — string
  • weight_kg — number — Total gross weight in kg. Optional if cbm is given (then an approximate weight is used).
  • product_name — string — Optional product name for the cost sheet

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• get_exchange_rates read-only

  Returns the exchange rates IFC uses for landed-cost estimates (INR per unit of USD, CNY and INR).

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• contact_ifc read-only

  Returns how to contact IFC - Imports From China (WhatsApp, calculator, website) for a confirmed China to India shipping and customs clearance quote.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• estimate_cbm_from_weight read-only

  Gives an approximate shipping volume in cubic metres (CBM) for goods from China from their total gross weight and product type. Use it when the buyer knows the weight but not the CBM. Approximate idea only: if the buyer has the exact CBM from the supplier (packing list), that should be used instead.

  Parameters:

  • weight_kg (required) — number — Total gross weight in kg
  • cartons — number — Optional number of cartons; improves the estimate
  • hs_code — string — Optional Indian HS code (2 to 8 digits) to help pick the product category
  • product — string — Product name or type, e.g. office chairs, LED lights, garments, bluetooth speakers

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no
