Importing perfume from the US into India attracts a layered duty stack that pushes the final landed cost well above the foreign retail price. The breakdown works like this: Basic Customs Duty (BCD) is 20% on the CIF (cost, insurance, and freight) value, then a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge is applied on the BCD itself, and finally 18% IGST is levied on top of the cumulative CIF-plus-duty figure, taking the effective duty outlay to roughly 43.96% of the CIF value. On top of that, international freight, insurance, customs clearance fees, and card or forex mark-ups add further to the bill.
