Importing a coffee maker into India attracts a layered duty structure that pushes the final landed cost well beyond the US sticker price. The CIF (cost, insurance, freight) value is levied a Basic Customs Duty (BCD) of 20%, on which a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge is applied, followed by an 18% IGST on the cumulative amount — yielding an effective duty of 43.96% on the CIF value. Add overseas freight, marine insurance, customs clearance fees, and credit-card or forex margins, and the rupee cost can be significantly higher than the original dollar price.

Why is importing a coffee maker so expensive, and can the duty be avoided?

The landed cost stacks BCD, surcharge, and IGST on top of freight, insurance, and forex margins, which is why the final price can be much higher than the foreign retail price. The duty cannot be legally avoided, but CrowCrowCrow includes it upfront so you never face surprise charges on delivery.
