For HS 070310 (fresh/chilled onions and shallots) from India to Indonesia:
- Import duty in Indonesia: 6.25% MFN (applied) on the imported customs value.
- Export benefit from India: RoDTEP 1.4% of FOB (subject to current eligibility and shipping line/item status).
Documents you should prepare
For this India–Indonesia shipment, the core documents are:
1. Commercial Invoice
Must show buyer/seller details, HS code, product description, quantity, unit price, and total value.
2. Packing List
Include carton count, net/gross weight, and packaging details.
3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
Required for ocean/air shipment proof and customs clearance.
4. Certificate of Origin
Important for origin declaration and any preferential claim if applicable.
5. Phytosanitary Certificate
Strongly recommended/typically required for fresh onions and shallots because this is a plant product. Issued by India’s plant quarantine authority.
6. Import permit / SPS clearance in Indonesia
Fresh vegetables often need Indonesian import approval and sanitary/phytosanitary compliance checks before or at arrival.
7. Fumigation / treatment certificate
Often requested for fresh produce shipments, especially if pests or storage treatment controls apply.
8. Insurance and LC documents if you are trading under insured cargo or letter of credit terms.
Benefits / trade advantage
- India-side export incentive: RoDTEP 1.4% of FOB can improve your net realization.
- Market demand: Indonesia is a large food-import market, and onions/shallots are part of a globally active trade lane.
- India is a major global exporter of this product category, so sourcing and export handling are well established.
Practical compliance note
Because this is fresh produce, the real clearance risk is usually not duty — it is SPS compliance:
- correct phytosanitary documentation,
- residue/pest compliance,
- proper packing and labeling,
- and Indonesian import authorization.
If you want, I can also give you:
1. the likely landed-cost calculation, or
2. a shipment checklist for India → Indonesia onions.
