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 Nigeria:

Duty in Nigeria

• Import duty: 20% MFN (applied) on the customs value.
• Nigeria may also apply other import charges depending on the shipment type and customs assessment, so the landed cost can be higher than duty alone.

Export benefit from India

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.4% of FOB value for the Indian exporter.

Documents you should prepare

For a normal commercial shipment, keep these ready:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

5. Export declaration / shipping bill

6. Insurance certificate if insured separately

7. Inspection / quality / phytosanitary certificate if required by buyer or Nigerian authorities

8. Any LC documents if payment is under letter of credit

India-side compliance

To export legally and claim benefits:

• IEC from DGFT
• GST registration
• RCMC if you want to claim export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs filing through ICEGATE

Practical benefit of this lane

• India is the world’s leading turmeric exporter, so sourcing from India is commercially strong and usually competitive.
• Nigeria has a sizeable spice/food ingredients market, so turmeric can work well for:
• food processing
• seasoning/blending
• retail spice packs
• ayurvedic / herbal ingredient use, if compliant

If you want, I can also give you:

• a landed cost example for Nigeria
• the HS classification check for turmeric powder vs whole turmeric
• or a full export checklist for Nigeria.
