Importing a face cleanser into India attracts a layered duty stack that pushes the landed cost well beyond the sticker price you see abroad. The assessable value (CIF — cost, insurance and freight) is first hit with a 20% Basic Customs Duty, on which a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge is levied, and then 18% IGST is applied on the cumulative amount, bringing the effective duty to 43.96% of the CIF value. On top of that, international shipping, insurance, payment processing fees and forex margins add further cost.
