For HS 330741 (Agarbatti / odoriferous preparations used by burning) shipped from India to Finland:

Duty in Finland

• Import duty (MFN/applied): 6.5%
• This is the customs duty; Finland also applies VAT on import separately, which is not included in the duty rate.
• If your shipment’s classification or composition is unusual, the final rate can change with exact product details and customs valuation.

Benefits

• India export incentive: RoDTEP benefit of 1.4% of FOB
• This is claimed by the Indian exporter, not deducted from Finnish import duty.
• India is the world’s leading exporter of this HS line, so sourcing from India is commercially strong and widely accepted in global markets.
• For Finland/EU, benefits depend mainly on correct classification, origin proof, and clean documentation rather than any special tariff preference here.

Documents you should prepare

For this India → Finland shipment, the practical core set is:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Insurance document if separately insured
• IEC of the Indian exporter
• GST details for export compliance
• RCMC if claiming Indian export incentives like RoDTEP

Extra compliance notes for Finland/EU

• Use correct HS classification at 8-digit EU level if needed by customs broker.
• Ensure the goods description clearly states whether they are:
• incense sticks,
• dhoop sticks,
• cones,
• or other odoriferous preparations.
• If the product contains fragrance chemicals, bamboo sticks, dyes, or binders, customs may scrutinize composition for classification and safety-related checks.
• Finland customs may ask for proof of origin and product composition if the description is broad.

Practical takeaway

• Finland duty: 6.5%
• Indian export benefit: RoDTEP 1.4% FOB
• Key docs: Invoice, packing list, B/L or AWB, COO, IEC, GST, RCMC
