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 Greece:

• Import duty in Greece: 9.6% MFN (applied) on the customs value.
• India export benefit: RoDTEP about 1.4% of FOB for this HS, subject to eligibility and notified rate at shipment time.

Documents you should prepare

For this lane, the usual export/customs set is:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

5. Health / phytosanitary certificate

• Very important for fresh vegetables like onions/shallots

6. Inspection certificate if requested by buyer or Greek customs

7. Insurance policy if shipment is insured

8. Contract / LC documents if payment is through letter of credit

Compliance points

From India, make sure you have:

• IEC from DGFT
• GST registration if applicable
• RCMC if you want to claim export incentives such as RoDTEP
• Customs filing via ICEGATE

For Greece/EU, fresh onions and shallots typically need careful attention to:

• Phytosanitary compliance
• Correct product grading, labeling and traceability
• EU food safety / plant health checks at entry
• Origin documentation if you want to claim any preferential treatment

Practical benefits on this route

• India is a major global exporter of onions, so sourcing and supply continuity are commercially established.
• Greece is an EU market, so once the product is cleared, access can be useful for wider EU distribution depending on buyer network.
• RoDTEP can improve your export margin from India.
• If your shipment is well-documented and phytosanitary-compliant, you reduce the risk of delay at EU border inspection.

Important trade note

There is no India–EU FTA in force for this product in the provided context, so the Greece import duty shown above is MFN unless a specific preference applies under a later or separate trade arrangement.

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a shipment document checklist for fresh onions to Greece, or

2. a landed-cost example using your FOB value.
