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 the United States:

Duty in the United States

• Customs duty is generally 0% to 6.6% ad valorem under the U.S. HTS for fresh/dried tropical fruit, but the exact rate depends on the exact 10-digit U.S. tariff line and whether the goods are fresh, dried, or processed.
• India does not currently have an FTA with the United States, so no preferential FTA duty benefit applies.
• The U.S. also applies strict agricultural import controls, so landed cost is often driven more by compliance, inspection, and logistics than by duty alone.

India-side export benefit

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.7% of FOB for this HS line, subject to eligibility and claim conditions.

Documents you will typically need

From India

• IEC of exporter
• GST registration
• RCMC from the relevant Export Promotion Council
• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Shipping Bill
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Phytosanitary Certificate from India’s plant quarantine authority
• Fumigation certificate if required by the U.S. buyer/route/packaging
• Pre-shipment inspection / quality certificate if buyer requests

For U.S. clearance

• Importer of Record details
• CBP entry filing
• FDA prior notice / agricultural admissibility review, where applicable
• Any USDA-APHIS-related permits or treatment documents if required for the specific fruit form/origin treatment

U.S. compliance points you should not miss

• Fresh mangoes/guavas/mangosteens are highly phytosanitary-sensitive; U.S. entry can require treatment, approved packinghouse practices, and pest-risk compliance.
• Pest-free/approved treatment documentation is critical to avoid hold, re-export, or destruction.
• If the shipment is air freight, make sure the temperature chain and arrival airport are aligned with U.S. admissibility requirements.

Benefits for this trade lane

• India export benefit: RoDTEP 1.7% of FOB
• Commercial opportunity: the United States is the world’s largest importer of this HS group, importing about $924.4M in 2024, so demand is strong.
• India is already among the top exporters for this product group, so there is an established trade lane.

Practical note

If you want the exact U.S. duty rate, I need the full U.S. 10-digit HTS code and whether the product is fresh or dried. I can then estimate landed cost and list the exact USDA/FDA entry steps for the shipment.
