Before you import Air Fryer — know these flags
- 120V vs 230V — a “120V only” label means it burns out on Indian power; “100–240V” works with a plug adapter
- Bulky = expensive freight — volumetric weight inflates the CIF that duty is charged on
- BIS quality-control orders apply to commercial appliance imports
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.
