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) shipped from India to Sri Lanka:

Duty in Sri Lanka

• Import duty: 20% MFN (applied) on this HS code.
• This is the duty figure available in the engine context; if you need the full landed cost I can help build it with freight, insurance, and any additional Sri Lankan taxes/charges.

Export benefit from India

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.7% of FOB on the export from India.
• This is an Indian export incentive that can reduce your net export cost, subject to eligibility and claim procedure.

Documents you should prepare

For this lane, the practical core set is:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Phytosanitary / plant health certificate
• Important for fresh fruit imports
• Import permit / food or plant import clearance in Sri Lanka if required by the consignee/category
• Insurance policy if shipped CIF/CIP
• Sales contract / LC documents if payment is by letter of credit

India-side export compliance

To export this fruit from India, the standard compliance items are:

• IEC from DGFT
• GST registration if applicable
• RCMC if you want to claim export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs filing on ICEGATE
• For perishables: temperature-controlled packing, traceability, and phytosanitary compliance

Sri Lanka-side practical points

Because this is fresh/dried fruit, Sri Lanka will usually care about:

• Plant quarantine / phytosanitary compliance
• Correct HS classification
• Origin proof
• Shelf-life, labelling, and packaging condition
• Any Sri Lankan food safety or import permit requirements depending on the exact product form

Why this route is attractive

• Sri Lanka is a nearby market, so transit time and cold-chain risk can be lower than longer-haul markets.
• India is already a meaningful exporter of HS 080450 globally, so supply-side capability is established.
• The product has strong regional trade potential if you can maintain freshness, consistent grading, and phytosanitary compliance.
