Importing Collagen Powder into India attracts a layered duty stack that pushes the landed cost well above the US shelf price. The base Customs duty (BCD) is 30% on the CIF value, on which a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge is levied, and then 18% IGST is applied on the cumulative amount — bringing the effective duty burden to 56.94% of CIF. On top of that, international freight, insurance, clearance fees, and card or forex margins add further cost.

FAQs: importing Collagen Powder to India

How much import duty is charged on Collagen Powder in India?
Collagen Powder classified under HSN 2106 attracts 30% BCD, a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge on the BCD, and 18% IGST on the combined value, resulting in an effective duty of 56.94% on the CIF value.
What is the HSN code for Collagen Powder?
Collagen Powder falls under HSN code 2106, which covers food preparations not elsewhere specified or included — the category most commonly used for protein and collagen supplements imported into India.
Does the country of origin change the import duty on Collagen Powder?
No, the duty rates are the same regardless of whether the product is shipped from the US, UK, or any other non-FTA country. Only imports from nations with which India has a Free Trade Agreement may qualify for concessional or reduced rates.
Why is imported Collagen Powder so expensive, and can the duty be avoided?
The high landed cost comes from the 56.94% effective duty stack plus freight, insurance, and forex charges. The duty cannot be legally avoided on personal imports; the only legitimate way to reduce it is through an applicable FTA, which does not currently cover most supplement-origin countries.

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).
