Importing face serum into India attracts a Basic Customs Duty of 20%, on which a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge is levied, followed by 18% IGST calculated on the cumulative CIF value — resulting in an effective duty of 43.96% on the CIF price alone. That's before freight, insurance, customs clearance fees, and card or forex charges, all of which push the final landed cost well beyond the price you see abroad.
