Importing mass gainer supplements into India attracts a layered duty structure that pushes the landed cost well beyond the sticker price you see abroad. India levies a Basic Customs Duty (BCD) of 30% on the CIF value (cost, insurance, freight), followed by a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge calculated on the BCD itself, and then 18% IGST applied on the cumulative CIF-plus-duties figure — bringing the effective duty impact to 56.94% on the CIF value. On top of that, international freight, insurance, payment processing fees, and forex margins add further cost. CrowCrowCrow handles all of this for you, delivering your mass gainer duty-paid in rupees with no hidden charges.

FAQs: importing Mass Gainer to India

How much import duty is charged on mass gainer supplements in India?
Mass gainer supplements classified under HSN 2106 face a 30% Basic Customs Duty, a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge on the BCD, and 18% IGST on the cumulative value, resulting in an effective duty of 56.94% on the CIF value.
What is the HSN code for mass gainer supplements imported into India?
Mass gainer supplements fall under HSN code 2106, which covers food preparations not elsewhere specified or included — the category under which most protein and weight-gain powders are classified by Indian customs.
Does the country of origin change the import duty on mass gainers?
No, the duty rates remain the same regardless of whether the mass gainer is shipped from the US, UK, or any other country, unless India has a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with that nation that specifically covers HSN 2106 — which is currently not the case for major supplement-exporting countries.
Why is importing mass gainer so expensive, and can the duty be avoided?
The cost is high because the 56.94% effective duty stacks on top of the product price, freight, and insurance, and card or forex fees add further margin. The duty cannot be legally avoided — it is mandatory for all commercial and personal imports — but buying through CrowCrowCrow means you pay a single, transparent duty-paid price in rupees with no surprise charges on delivery.

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).
