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 620342 (men’s/boys’ cotton trousers & shorts, non-knit) from India to Spain:

Duty in Spain

• Spain import duty (MFN/applied): 12.0%
• This is the customs duty on import value, before adding VAT and any local import charges.
• Because India does not have an EU FTA for apparel, you should assume MFN duty applies unless a preferential origin route is available through a specific scheme/regime.

India export benefit

• RoDTEP benefit: 4.3% of FOB
• This is the main export incentive indicated in the engine context for this HS code.
• To claim it, the exporter generally needs a valid RCMC and correct shipping declaration.

Documents you should prepare

For an India → Spain apparel shipment, keep these ready:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• Export declaration / shipping bill
• Insurance certificate
• Buyer’s LC or contract, if applicable
• If the buyer wants preferential treatment under any scheme, the origin document/certificate must match the applicable rule

India-side compliance

• IEC: mandatory for export
• GST registration: required for exporters claiming input GST refund / zero-rated supplies
• RCMC: needed for claiming DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs filing: through ICEGATE

Practical Spain-side note

For EU imports of garments, customs will also check:

• Correct HS classification
• Country of origin
• Textile labeling/fiber composition
• EU VAT and customs valuation
• Any anti-dumping / restriction / quota issues if they apply to the product category at the time of import

Trade potential

• Spain imported about $1.16B of this HS code in 2024, so it is a meaningful market.
• India is already a supplier here, but with a smaller share than Bangladesh and China, so there is room if you compete on price, compliance, and lead time.

If you want, I can also give you a landed cost estimate for Spain for this HS code using your FOB value.
