For HS 847989 exports from India to the Philippines, the practical duty picture is:

• Philippines MFN import duty: 0.8%
• Preferential duty shown in trade data: 0.0%
• India export benefit: RoDTEP 1.0% of FOB

What this means for your shipment

If your product is correctly classified under 847989 and the buyer qualifies under the applicable preferential route, the Philippines side may be able to import at 0% duty instead of the MFN rate. If no preference is claimed/available, the applied MFN duty is 0.8%.

Documents you should prepare

For this India → Philippines lane, keep these ready:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

5. FTA / preferential origin certificate, if claiming any preference

6. Insurance certificate if insured under seller’s terms

7. Any technical catalogues/spec sheets to support HS 847989 classification

8. Inspection / test certificates only if the buyer or Philippine customs request them for the product type

India-side compliance to export

You’ll generally need:

• IEC (Import Export Code)
• GST registration
• RCMC if you want to claim export incentives like RoDTEP
• Filing through ICEGATE for customs clearance

Benefits available

• RoDTEP: 1.0% of FOB on the India export side
• If the goods and paperwork support it, preferential duty in the Philippines can be 0.0%

Practical note

Because 847989 is a broad residual machinery heading, the exact sub-classification and the origin/prefential certificate matter a lot. If you want, I can also help you with:

• the likely Philippine customs process
• a document checklist by shipment mode
• or a classification check for 847989 to reduce duty risk.
