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 300490 (medicaments in dosage form) shipped from India to Singapore:

Duty in Singapore

• Import duty: 0% MFN
• In practice, Singapore generally does not levy customs duty on 300490.
• GST may still apply in Singapore on importation depending on the consignee’s GST registration/status and transaction structure.

India export benefit

• RoDTEP benefit: 0.7% of FOB
• This is the export-side incentive indicated for this HS code, subject to eligibility and claim conditions.

Main documents you should prepare

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• If using any applicable preferential claim or for buyer compliance
• Product-specific regulatory documents for pharmaceuticals, such as:
• Manufacturing licence
• Batch certificate / CoA
• Product labels / composition details
• Shelf-life/expiry details
• Stability data if requested by the buyer/regulator
• Import/registration documents required by the Singapore buyer for pharma clearance, depending on whether the product is for:
• retail supply,
• hospital use, or
• re-export/distribution

Compliance points for India export

• IEC is mandatory
• GST registration is needed for export operations and refunds
• Customs filing through ICEGATE
• RCMC is needed if you want to claim export incentives like RoDTEP

Singapore-specific practical note

For medicaments, the key issue is usually not duty, but regulatory approval and product registration. If the shipment is for local sale in Singapore, check whether the product needs approval under the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) before import.

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a Singapore pharma import compliance checklist, or

2. a sample document set for HS 300490 export from India.
