What is the HSN code for Creatine Monohydrate?

Does the country of origin change the import duty on Creatine Monohydrate?
No, the duty structure is the same regardless of whether the product is shipped from the US, UK, or elsewhere, unless a Free Trade Agreement between India and that country provides a preferential rate — which currently does not apply to this product.
Why is imported Creatine Monohydrate so expensive in India, and can the duty be avoided?
The high cost comes from the combined 56.94% duty stack plus freight, insurance, and processing fees. The duty cannot be legally avoided; it is mandatory on all commercial and personal imports, which is why CrowCrowCrow quotes everything upfront so there are no surprises.

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).
