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)	20%	Rs 20,000	Rs 15,600	Rs 135,600
India & SAARC (with SAFTA certificate of origin)	6%	Rs 6,000	Rs 13,780	Rs 119,780

Importing from India or SAARC under SAFTA (with a certificate of origin) cuts the duty from 20% to 6% — about Rs 15,820 less on this Rs 100,000 example, once the VAT on the saved duty is counted. How SAFTA & the certificate of origin work →
