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 or dried) shipped from India to South Korea:

Duty in South Korea

• MFN import duty: 30.0%
• Preferential duty: 25.0% if your shipment qualifies under a valid preferential scheme / origin proof

Export benefit from India

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.7% of FOB value

Documents you should prepare

For this trade lane, keep these ready:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Preferential certificate of origin if you want the lower duty rate
• Phytosanitary certificate from India, since this is fresh/dried fruit and Korea will check plant-health compliance
• Inspection / quality certificate if requested by buyer or Korean customs
• Import permit / SPS documents if the Korean importer’s clearance process requires it
• Insurance certificate if traded on insured terms

Benefits / commercial upside

• South Korea is already a meaningful importer of this HS line, with about $160.6M in imports in 2024.
• India is also an established supplier in this category, so the lane is commercially viable.
• If you can qualify for the preferential 25% duty instead of 30% MFN, that improves landed cost.
• On the Indian side, RoDTEP at 1.7% of FOB can improve exporter margin.

Practical note

For fresh mangoes / guavas / mangosteens, the main clearance risk is usually SPS / plant quarantine, not just customs duty. Make sure:

• the fruit is free of pests and soil
• packaging is clean and compliant
• the phytosanitary certificate matches the consignee and shipment details exactly

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a landed cost estimate, or

2. a step-by-step Korea clearance checklist for this HS code.
