Importing Fish Oil Omega 3 supplements into India attracts a layered duty structure that pushes the landed cost well beyond the sticker price you see abroad. The base customs duty (BCD) is 30% on the CIF value, on top of which a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge is levied on the BCD itself, followed by 18% IGST calculated on the cumulative CIF-plus-duties figure — bringing the effective duty burden to 56.94% on the CIF value. Add international freight, marine insurance, port clearance charges, and card or forex mark-ups, and the final cost climbs sharply.
