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 or chilled onions and shallots) from India to Thailand:

Duty in Thailand

• Thailand import duty: 142% MFN (applied) on this HS code.
• This is a very high landed-cost item in Thailand, so price competitiveness and correct customs valuation are critical.

India-side export benefit

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.4% of FOB on export from India.
• This helps offset some export-side embedded taxes, but it will not neutralize Thailand’s high import duty.

Documents you should prepare

For this shipment, the practical minimum set is:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Airway Bill
• Certificate of Origin
• Important if you are trying to claim any preferential treatment under a trade agreement
• Phyto-sanitary / plant health certificate
• Very important for fresh onions/shallots
• Inspection / quality certificate if requested by buyer or Thai authorities
• Import/Export declaration support documents
• If using letter of credit: LC documents and insurance

India compliance essentials

To export legally and claim benefits:

• IEC
• GST registration
• RCMC if you want to claim DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs filing through ICEGATE

Commercial implications

• Thailand’s 142% duty makes this trade lane highly sensitive to:
• declared value
• product classification accuracy
• origin documentation
• phytosanitary compliance
• If your shipment is meant to enter under a preferential route, you should verify whether a valid FTA certificate of origin is available for this exact product and whether the tariff line is actually covered.

Practical note

For fresh onions/shallots, Thai buyers will usually care most about:

• phytosanitary clearance
• residue/quality compliance
• shelf-life and packaging
• landed cost after duty
