India-to-Kuwait for HS 300490 (Medicaments in Dosage) shows 0% MFN import duty in Kuwait, so the deal is not being squeezed by border duty on entry. On the export side, India shows RoDTEP at 0.7% of FOB effective 2026-05-01, which can improve your net realization but needs the exact 8-digit rate confirmed in Appendix 4R. The single most valuable next action is to build the Kuwait landed cost in the Command Center using the 0% duty and then validate the RoDTEP rate against the current DGFT schedule before quoting.

Where does the duty rate come from?

Applied MFN and preferential tariffs are read live from the World Bank WITS / UNCTAD TRAINS database (56 reporting countries, HS6 level) and cached for 7 days. The data year is shown next to every rate.

Why is my product not found?

Search by product name (e.g. 'turmeric') or type the 6-digit HS code. If WITS has no record for a country/product pair, we say so instead of guessing.

Does it show my own country's export benefits?

Yes. Pick your origin country and the result lists the official export-support schemes that country publishes — duty drawback, export VAT refunds, export credit, grants — each linked to the administering authority. Rates are shown only where a government publishes an official rate schedule (today, India's RoDTEP).
