Customs Duty on HSN 6205 20 10
An import pays basic customs duty at the tariff rate, social welfare surcharge at 10% of that duty (unless exempted for the goods), and IGST at the GST rate on the value plus both duties.
The duty on this line is 20% or Rs. 85 per piece, whichever is higher. It depends on the quantity as well as the value, so work it out from the invoice quantity; surcharge and IGST are then added as above.
