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) from India to Spain:

• Import duty in Spain: 0.0% MFN (applied) based on the engine context.
• Export benefit from India: RoDTEP ~1.4% of FOB for eligible shipments.

What this means commercially

Spain is a very attractive destination for Indian turmeric because the customs duty is nil, so your landed cost depends more on:

• freight and insurance,
• EU VAT handling,
• product quality / residue compliance,
• documentation accuracy.

Documents you should prepare

For this lane, the standard export set is:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

5. Phytosanitary / health-related certificate if required by the buyer or Spanish/EU authorities

6. Any quality/analysis certificate if the buyer asks for spice specs, microbial limits, or residue results

7. Insurance certificate if shipment is CIF/CIP or insured separately

India-side compliance

To export from India, make sure you have:

• IEC (Import Export Code) — mandatory for exporting
• GST registration — important for export compliance and input tax refund/zero-rated exports
• RCMC — needed if you want to claim DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP
• ICEGATE filing for customs clearance

Benefits you can claim

• RoDTEP: about 1.4% of FOB on eligible exports
• Since Spain duty is 0%, your price advantage is mainly from Indian export incentives and strong origin positioning in spices

Practical note for Spain/EU

Turmeric into Spain is usually straightforward on duty, but the key risk is EU food safety and buyer compliance, especially:

• pesticide residue limits,
• contamination / adulteration checks,
• product labeling if sold retail-packaged in the EU,
• correct HS classification for whole turmeric vs powder if applicable.

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a Spain import checklist for turmeric, or

2. a landed cost estimate for a specific FOB value.
