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, not knitted) from India to Switzerland:

Duty in Switzerland

• Import duty: 0.0% MFN (applied) for this HS code.
• So, on the Swiss side, customs duty is currently nil based on the live engine context.

India-side export benefit

• RoDTEP benefit: 4.3% of FOB
• This is the main export incentive indicated for India on this shipment, subject to product eligibility and current scheme status.

Documents you should prepare

Minimum practical set for this lane:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• FTA certificate, if claiming any preferential origin benefit
• Insurance certificate
• Inspection / health certificate, only if buyer or Swiss importer requires it
• LC documents, if the deal is under letter of credit

India compliance essentials

For exporting from India, you should have:

• IEC (Import Export Code) – mandatory
• GST registration – needed for export compliance and refunds
• RCMC – required if you want to claim DGFT export incentives such as RoDTEP
• Customs filing on ICEGATE

Practical benefit of this route

• Because Switzerland’s duty is nil, your competitive edge is less about tariff saving and more about:
• product quality and compliance
• pricing discipline
• on-time delivery
• leveraging RoDTEP 4.3% FOB on the India side
