Tariff policy
From July 1, 2017, India will integrate its various local service taxes into goods and services tax (GST), which will also replace the previously announced 15% Indian service tax. The charging standard of GST will be 18% of the service charge for import and export to India, including port handling charges, inland transportation costs and other local costs.
Customs regulations
First of all, the shipping company must be responsible for the whole transportation of all goods transferred to the inland freight station in India, and the final destination column of the bill of lading and manifest must be filled as the inland point. Otherwise, the goods can be transshipped inland only after they are unloaded at the port or paid a high fee for changing the manifest.
Secondly, the goods can be stored in the customs warehouse for 30 days after arrival. After 30 days, the customs will send a notice of delivery to the importer. If the importer is unable to pick up the goods on time for some reason, he can apply to the customs for extension if necessary. If the Indian buyer does not apply for extension, the exporter's goods will be auctioned 30 days after being stored in the customs
