Customs duty calculator — how to find the real import duty for any HS code

To find the import duty your buyer will pay, you need three things: the 6-digit HS code of the goods, the exporting (origin) country and the importing (destination) country. Vametra AI reads the applied MFN rate the destination reports to the World Bank WITS / UNCTAD TRAINS database at HS6 level, then checks whether a lower preferential (FTA) rate is reported for your specific origin. The rate is shown with its reporting year, because tariff data typically lags the current year by about two years.

What the tool returns

• Applied MFN duty rate for the destination country at HS6, with reporting year and source.
• Preferential / FTA rate for your origin country when the destination reports one.
• Destination VAT/GST or equivalent consumption tax where applicable.
• For imports into India: the Basic Customs Duty, 10% Social Welfare Surcharge and IGST slab.
• Export-support schemes published by your own exporting country's authorities, with official links.

How to read a 0% result

• 0% is the ad-valorem rate reported to WITS. Some tariff lines (EU cereals and sugar, for example) carry specific duties per tonne that are not expressed as a percentage — confirm them in the destination tariff schedule before quoting.

FAQ

Where does the duty data come from?

World Bank WITS / UNCTAD TRAINS, at HS6 level, for 56 reporting countries. Results are cached for 7 days and the reporting year is displayed next to every rate.

Is the calculator free?

Yes, duty lookup is free and needs no account.

Does it cover duty for every country in the world?

No. Coverage is limited to the countries that report tariff data to WITS. If there is no record for a country/product pair, Vametra AI says so rather than estimating.
