Importing shampoo (HSN code 3305) into India attracts a layered duty structure that adds up quickly. The Basic Customs Duty is 20% on the CIF value, on which a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge is levied, followed by 18% IGST on the cumulative amount — resulting in an effective duty of 43.96% on the CIF value alone. That’s before you factor in freight, insurance, clearance fees and card or forex charges, which is why the landed cost at your door ends up far above the price you see on a US shelf.
