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 847989 from India to Canada, the key points are:

• Import duty in Canada: 1.25% MFN (applied) on the product line in the engine context.
• India export benefit: RoDTEP up to 1.0% of FOB on eligible exports.

Duty

• Canada customs duty: 1.25% MFN
• Likely extra taxes in Canada: GST/HST may apply at import depending on province and importer status, but that is separate from customs duty.

Documents you should prepare

For this India → Canada shipment, the standard set is:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

• Use this if buyer needs origin proof or for any preference claim if applicable.

5. Product technical description/spec sheet

• Important for HS 847989 because customs may want to confirm the exact machine/function.

6. Insurance certificate if CIF/CIP or insured shipment

7. IEC of exporter

8. GST details / export invoice from India

9. Any product-specific certification, if the machine has electrical/electronic components, pressure parts, lasers, wireless functions, or safety claims

India-side compliance

• IEC: mandatory
• GST registration: needed for export operations and refund/zero-rating process
• RCMC: useful if you want to claim RoDTEP
• Customs filing via ICEGATE

Benefits for the exporter

• RoDTEP up to 1.0% of FOB if the product is eligible
• Exports are zero-rated under GST in India
• If you are a frequent exporter, AEO status can speed up clearance

Practical note on HS 847989

Because 847989 is a broad “other machines and mechanical appliances” heading, classification at the 8/10-digit level can change the duty and document needs. The exact machine type matters a lot for:

• Canadian customs classification
• any safety or conformity requirements
• whether the item needs extra technical literature or certificates

If you want, I can next give you:

1. a Canada landed-cost estimate for a shipment value, or

2. a document checklist formatted for customs clearance for this HS code.
