Importing eye cream into India attracts a Basic Customs Duty of 20%, calculated on the CIF value (product price plus freight and insurance). On top of that, a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge is applied to the BCD, and then 18% IGST is levied on the cumulative value including BCD and surcharge — bringing the effective duty burden to 43.96% on the CIF value. That's before you factor in freight, insurance, customs clearance fees, and card or forex charges, all of which push the landed cost well beyond the price you see abroad. CrowCrowCrow handles every step of this process so you simply pay a single, transparent duty-paid price in Indian rupees with no surprises at delivery.

FAQs: importing Eye Cream to India

How much import duty applies on eye cream brought into India?
Eye cream attracts a 20% Basic Customs Duty, a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge on the BCD, and 18% IGST on top — resulting in an effective duty of 43.96% on the CIF value.
What is the HSN code for eye cream?
Eye cream falls under HSN code 3304, which covers beauty or skincare preparations, including eye-area products.
Does the country of origin change the import duty on eye cream?
No — the duty rates remain the same regardless of origin, unless a Free Trade Agreement with that country offers a concession, which CrowCrowCrow will apply where eligible.
Why is imported eye cream so expensive in India, and can the duty be avoided?
The stacked duties, freight, insurance, forex margins, and clearance costs all add up quickly. These charges are mandatory under Indian customs law and cannot be avoided — CrowCrowCrow simply bundles them into one upfront duty-paid price so there are no hidden costs later.

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).
