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 (fresh/dried guavas, mangoes and mangosteens) from India to the United Kingdom:

• UK import duty: 0.0% MFN applied
• India export benefit: RoDTEP about 1.7% of FOB

So, on this lane, the main trade advantage is duty-free UK entry plus an Indian export rebate support.

Documents you should prepare

For a perishable fruit shipment, keep these ready:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

• Use this especially if you want to support preferential origin claims under the India–UK trade framework when applicable

5. Phytosanitary Certificate

• Important for fresh fruit exports from India

6. Fumigation / treatment certificate if required by the buyer or UK import controls

7. Export health / inspection certificate if asked by the UK importer

8. Insurance certificate

9. IEC, GST, and RCMC for the Indian exporter

10. UK customs entry data filed by the importer/broker

Practical compliance notes

• The UK duty is nil, but UK SPS checks still matter because fruit is a controlled fresh food item.
• Make sure the fruit is compliant with:
• UK phytosanitary rules
• Maximum residue limits (MRLs)
• Packaging and labeling requirements
• For sea freight, only use a strong cold-chain setup; for mangoes/guavas, air freight is often preferred for quality and shelf life.

Benefit summary

• Zero UK import duty improves landed-cost competitiveness.
• RoDTEP reduces your export cost in India.
• This makes the lane attractive if you can maintain premium quality and transit integrity.
