Landed cost — worked example

For a shipment with a CIF value of Rs 100,000 (cost + insurance + freight to the Nepal border), the customs duty and VAT work out as:

Origin	Customs duty	Duty amount	VAT (13%)	Landed cost
General (any origin)	10%	Rs 10,000	Rs 14,300	Rs 124,300
India & SAARC (with SAFTA certificate of origin)	5%	Rs 5,000	Rs 13,650	Rs 118,650

Importing from India or SAARC under SAFTA (with a certificate of origin) cuts the duty from 10% to 5% — about Rs 5,650 less on this Rs 100,000 example, once the VAT on the saved duty is counted. How SAFTA & the certificate of origin work →
