Importing an air fryer into India attracts a Basic Customs Duty of 20% under HSN 8516, plus a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge calculated on the BCD, and 18% IGST on the cumulative CIF-plus-duty value — bringing the effective duty on the CIF value to 43.96%. On top of that, you pay freight, insurance, port clearance fees, and a card or forex markup, so the landed cost is always higher than the US sticker price. CrowCrowCrow handles all of this for you and delivers your air fryer duty-paid, with the final price shown in rupees upfront.

FAQs: importing Air Fryer to India

How much import duty do I pay on an air fryer in India?
The effective duty on the CIF (cost, insurance, freight) value comes to 43.96%, made up of 20% BCD, a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge on the BCD, and 18% IGST on the combined CIF-plus-duty amount.
What is the HSN code for air fryers imported into India?
Air fryers are classified under HSN 8516, which covers electric instantaneous or storage water heaters and immersion heaters, electric space-heating apparatus, and similar appliances.
Does the country of origin change the import duty on an air fryer?
No — the BCD rate is the same regardless of origin, unless the exporting country has a Free Trade Agreement with India that covers this product and you can supply a valid Certificate of Origin.
Why is an imported air fryer so expensive, and can the duty be avoided?
Beyond the 43.96% effective duty, you also bear freight, insurance, clearance fees, and card or forex charges. The duty cannot be legally avoided on a personal import — it is mandatory for any air fryer brought into India.

Estimate only — not tax or customs advice. Verify current rates with Indian Customs (CBIC) / ICEGATE before importing. India import duty is set by the HSN code + CIF value and is the same from any origin country except FTA partners. Rates verified 29 June 2026 (2026).
