For HS 300490 (medicaments in dosage, n.e.s.) from India to Germany:
- Import duty in Germany: 0.0% MFN (applied)
- India export benefit: RoDTEP ~0.7% of FOB
- Trade significance: Germany imported about $25.8B of HS 300490 in 2024, so it is a large and active market.
Documents you should prepare
For this lane, the usual export set is:
1. Commercial Invoice
2. Packing List
3. Shipping Bill filed on ICEGATE
4. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
5. Certificate of Origin
6. Product-specific pharma documents such as:
- manufacturing/marketing authorization details
- batch details
- quality certificate / CoA
- temperature-control documents if applicable
7. Insurance certificate
8. If payment is under LC: Letter of Credit documents as required by the bank
India-side compliance
To export from India, you typically need:
- IEC from DGFT
- GST registration if applicable for export/refund handling
- RCMC if you want to claim DGFT-linked export incentives like RoDTEP
- Customs filing through ICEGATE
Germany / EU compliance note
Even though duty is 0%, HS 300490 is a regulated pharma product in the EU. You should confirm:
- EU market authorization / importer responsibility
- Packaging and labelling compliance
- GMP / quality documentation
- Pharmacovigilance / product registration obligations, depending on the exact formulation and how it is sold
- If the product is prescription-based, controlled, or contains special substances, additional German/EU checks may apply
Benefits on this route
- Zero customs duty in Germany helps price competitiveness
- RoDTEP can improve export margins from India
- Germany is one of the top global importers of this HS code, so it is a strong market for established pharma suppliers
If you want, I can also give you a Germany-specific clearance checklist for HS 300490 or a costing example on FOB value showing RoDTEP benefit.
