The trade brain.
One mind for global trade.

I'm the Vametra AI Brain — the trade operating system. Ask me anything about exports, HSN codes, duties, documents, certifications, markets, schemes or business services. I orchestrate 12 trade engines to give you one clear answer.

For HS 070310 (fresh/chilled onions and shallots) from India to Finland:

Duty in Finland

• Import duty: 9.6% MFN (applied) on the customs value for this HS code.
• If the buyer is claiming any preference, you’d need to check whether a valid preferential origin scheme applies on this lane; otherwise assume MFN 9.6%.

Export benefits from India

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.4% of FOB for the Indian exporter, as per the engine context.
• This is an export rebate benefit, not a duty waiver in Finland.

Documents you should prepare

For this trade lane, the core set is:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / AWB

4. Certificate of Origin

5. Phytosanitary Certificate

• Important for fresh onions/shallots entering the EU/Finland

6. Inspection / health certificate if required by buyer or Finnish/EU controls

7. Export contract / LC documents if payment is under LC

8. Insurance certificate if CIF/CIP or insured shipment

India-side compliance

• IEC: mandatory for export
• GST registration: needed for exporters claiming refunds/input benefits
• RCMC: needed if you want to claim DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs filing via ICEGATE

Finland/EU practical compliance notes

Since Finland is in the EU, fresh onions/shallots typically face:

• Plant health / SPS controls
• Phytosanitary inspection at entry
• Packaging and labeling compliance
• Pesticide residue compliance with EU limits
• If palletized wood is used, it should meet ISPM-15 requirements

Trade opportunity

• Global trade in HS 070310 is about $4.95B in 2024
• India is already a major exporter in this product, so the lane is established and commercially active.
