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) from India to South Korea:

• South Korea import duty: 8.0% MFN (applied)
• Preferential duty: 0.0% is shown in the engine context for this line, so if your shipment qualifies under the applicable preference route, duty may be nil.
• India export benefit: RoDTEP ~0.7% of FOB

What this means practically

If your product is correctly classified under HS 300490 and the shipment meets the origin/preference rules, your landed tax cost in Korea may be reduced versus the normal MFN rate. The exact payable duty depends on:

• product sub-classification in Korea
• whether any preferential certificate of origin applies
• invoice value and customs valuation
• any Korea-side taxes/fees beyond customs duty

Documents you should prepare

For this India → South Korea export, the key documents are:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

• especially important if you want to claim any preferential tariff treatment

5. FTA / preferential origin certificate if applicable to your route and product

6. Inspection / health / regulatory certificate if the medicament requires one

7. Insurance certificate if shipped under insured terms

8. Export declaration and customs filing docs through Indian customs/ICEGATE

India-side exporter compliance

You’ll typically need:

• IEC — mandatory for export
• GST registration — relevant for export operations and refund claims
• RCMC — needed if you want to claim DGFT export incentives such as RoDTEP
• Customs clearance via ICEGATE

Benefit summary

• Possible Korea duty advantage: preferential 0.0% instead of 8.0% MFN
• India export incentive: RoDTEP ~0.7% of FOB
• Product category is high-value pharma, so correct HS classification and origin paperwork are critical
