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 091030 (turmeric/curcuma) shipped from India to Kenya, the main import duty is 25% MFN (applied) in Kenya.

India-side export benefit available from the engine context: RoDTEP 1.4% of FOB.

Duty in Kenya

• Import duty: 25% MFN (applied)
• This is the customs duty basis; Kenya may also levy other import charges depending on the product’s final customs treatment, valuation, and any applicable local taxes.

Documents you should prepare

For this lane, the key shipment documents are:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• FTA certificate, only if you are claiming any preferential treatment under an applicable trade arrangement
• Inspection / health certificate, if requested by Kenyan authorities or by the buyer
• Insurance certificate
• Letter of Credit, if payment is via LC

India-side compliance / export setup

To export from India, the basic trade compliance stack is:

• IEC (Import Export Code) — mandatory
• GST Registration — needed for export compliance and refund / zero-rated export handling
• RCMC — required if you want to claim DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs clearance through ICEGATE

Benefit on the India side

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.4% of FOB
• This is an exporter benefit, not a Kenyan import-duty reduction.

Practical note

If you want the exact landed cost in Kenya for a specific invoice value, I can calculate:

• import duty,
• likely total duty impact,
• and exporter net benefit after RoDTEP,

if you share the FOB or invoice value.
