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 080450 (guavas, mangoes and mangosteens, fresh/dried) from India to South Africa:

Duty in South Africa

• Import duty: 35% MFN applied
• This is the current duty rate provided for this HS line on the India → South Africa route.

Export benefit from India

• RoDTEP: 1.7% of FOB
• This is the export incentive indicated for this product line.

Documents you’ll typically need

For this lane, prepare:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Phytosanitary certificate from India, because this is a fresh agricultural product
• Import permit / health clearance in South Africa, where applicable for fresh fruit
• Inspection certificate if requested by buyer or consignee
• Insurance certificate if shipped CIF/CIP
• GST/IEC/RCMC on the Indian exporter side if claiming export benefits

South Africa-specific compliance points

• Fresh fruit into South Africa is usually subject to plant health and quarantine control by South African authorities.
• Expect scrutiny on:
• Pest-free / disease-free status
• Treatment or cold-chain handling, if required
• Packaging labeling and traceability
• Your buyer should confirm whether the consignment needs any import permit or pre-clearance for the specific fruit type and form.

Practical benefit / cost picture

• The 35% duty makes landed cost significant, so exporters usually win on:
• quality grading
• cold-chain reliability
• seasonal supply gaps
• sea/air freight timing
• RoDTEP 1.7% FOB can help offset part of the export cost from India.

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a landed-cost estimate, or

2. a document checklist for fresh mango exports to South Africa.
