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 the Philippines:

• Import duty in Philippines: 3.0% MFN
• Preferential duty: 0.0% shown in the engine context
• India export benefit: RoDTEP 1.4% of FOB

Documents you should prepare

For a normal export shipment from India to the Philippines, keep these ready:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

5. FTA/Preferential origin certificate if you want to claim any preferential rate

6. Inspection / phytosanitary / health certificate if required by the Philippine importer or customs

7. Insurance document if insured under the shipment

8. Letter of Credit (if payment is under LC)

India-side compliance

• IEC from DGFT is mandatory for export
• GST registration if applicable for your business/export refund claims
• RCMC if you want to claim export incentives like RoDTEP
• File export shipping bill through ICEGATE

Benefits for this trade lane

• RoDTEP 1.4% of FOB reduces export cost from India
• Philippines duty is relatively low at 3% MFN
• Turmeric is a strong export product for India globally; India is the largest exporter of HS 091030

Practical note

Because this is an agricultural/spice product, the Philippine buyer may ask for:

• fumigation certificate
• phytosanitary certificate
• lab test / residue certificate

depending on the product form and importer’s regulatory route.
