Importing a laptop into India attracts a Basic Customs Duty of 0% under HSN 8471, which means the Social Welfare Surcharge on BCD is nil as well. However, IGST at 18% is levied on the full CIF value (cost, insurance and freight) of the machine, so the effective duty incidence on the landed cost is 18%. Beyond duty, the final landed price is pushed further by international freight, insurance, customs clearance fees, and card or foreign-exchange margins built into the purchase.
