For HS 100630 (semi-milled or wholly milled rice) from India to Switzerland:
1) Duty in Switzerland
- Import duty: 0.0% MFN (applied) for HS 100630, based on the live duty context.
- So, for the Swiss importer, the customs duty is effectively nil on this HS line.
- Note: Swiss VAT and any customs handling/administrative charges may still apply separately.
2) Documents you should prepare
For a normal India → Switzerland rice export, keep these ready:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
- Certificate of Origin
- Phytosanitary Certificate
Important for rice/agri cargo; often required by the destination authorities.
- Fumigation Certificate
Commonly requested for bulk/agri shipments, especially if packaging is wooden or the buyer requests it.
- Inspection / Quality Certificate
Often useful for basmati/non-basmati rice trade and buyer assurance.
- Insurance Certificate
If you are shipping CIF/CIP or the buyer asks for insured cargo.
- Export declaration / Shipping Bill through Indian customs
If you are claiming any preferential treatment, also check whether a preferential/FTA certificate of origin is relevant for that shipment structure.
3) Indian-side compliance for the exporter
You will typically need:
- IEC (Import Export Code) from DGFT
- GST registration
- RCMC if you want to claim DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP
- Customs filing through ICEGATE
4) Export benefit from India
- RoDTEP benefit: 1.0% of FOB for this HS code, per the live context.
- This is the main quantified export incentive in the current engine data.
5) Practical trade note for this lane
- Switzerland is a high-compliance market, so rice shipments should be clean on:
- residue/quality specs
- packing and labeling
- origin proof
- phytosanitary documentation
If you want, I can next give you a shipment-ready checklist for rice to Switzerland or a sample document set for LC/shipping bill.
