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 Mexico:

Duty in Mexico

• Mexico import duty: 20% MFN (applied) on HS 091030.
• This is the customs duty only; Mexico may also charge IVA (VAT) and any customs processing/handling charges depending on the entry.

Export benefit from India

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.4% of FOB for the Indian exporter, subject to eligibility and the shipment meeting scheme conditions.

Documents you should prepare

For this India → Mexico shipment, the core set is:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

• Important if any preferential claim is possible; otherwise still useful for buyer/customs support.

5. Export declaration / shipping bill in India

6. Import clearance documents for Mexico

• Filed by the Mexican importer or customs broker.

7. Product compliance / health documents if required

• For turmeric/spices, buyers and Mexican customs may ask for phytosanitary/food safety support documents, especially if the consignment is for food use or processed spice trade.

8. Insurance certificate if insured under CIF/CIP or by buyer requirement

9. RCMC if you want to claim DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP

Indian exporter compliance

To export legally from India, you typically need:

• IEC
• GST registration for export compliance/refund handling
• RCMC for incentive access
• Customs filing through ICEGATE

Practical benefit angle for this lane

• India is the world’s largest exporter of turmeric, so the supply base is strong and established.
• Global turmeric trade grew sharply in 2024, which supports demand.
• For Mexico, a 20% duty means landed cost sensitivity matters, so proper classification, valuation, and complete documents are important to avoid delays or over-assessment.

2. a Mexico-specific document checklist for food/spice imports.
