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)	15%	Rs 15,000	Rs 14,950	Rs 129,950
India & SAARC (with SAFTA certificate of origin)	7.25%	Rs 7,250	Rs 13,942	Rs 121,192

Importing from India or SAARC under SAFTA (with a certificate of origin) cuts the duty from 15% to 7.25% — about Rs 8,758 less on this Rs 100,000 example, once the VAT on the saved duty is counted. How SAFTA & the certificate of origin work →
