Overview

AI-generated overview

Looks up Indian import duty rates by ITC-HS code and estimates China-to-India landed costs, CBM and exchange rates for import planning.

What you can do
  • Look up the duty profile of an 8-digit ITC-HS code: BCD, SWS, AIDC, IGST, anti-dumping duty, minimum import price and import policy
  • Search the duty database by product words or partial HS code and get up to 10 matching codes with descriptions
  • Estimate door-to-door landed cost in INR from China to India, including freight, clearance, delivery, insurance, duties and IGST
  • Retrieve the exchange rates used for those estimates (INR per USD, CNY and INR)
  • Approximate shipping volume in cubic metres from gross weight and product type
  • Get IFC contact channels for a confirmed shipping and customs clearance quote
When to use it
Useful when checking what duty an Indian importer would pay on goods from China, comparing HS codes, or getting a rough landed-cost and volume figure before requesting a firm quote.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at importsfromchina.com; no authentication, environment variables or headers declared. Network access to the provider is needed.
Before you install
Landed cost and CBM figures are estimates only; the provider confirms final quotes separately. Duty rates and exchange rates come from the provider's own database and may not reflect current official rates. Contact details returned by the contact tool point to the provider's commercial channels.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open IFC India Import Duty & Landed Cost in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.importsfromchina%2Fifc-india-import-duty/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

lookup_hs_code

Look up Indian import duty for an HS code

Returns the Indian customs duty profile for an 8-digit ITC-HS code on goods imported from China: product description, Basic Customs Duty (BCD), Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS), Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC), IGST, anti-dumping duty, minimum import price, import policy and compliance notes (BIS, WPC, FSSAI, EPR). Data maintained by IFC - Imports From China.

Parametershs_coderequired

search_hs_code

Find the HS code for a product

Searches IFC's Indian import duty database by product words (e.g. "bluetooth speaker", "office chair") or by the first digits of an HS code, and returns up to 10 matching 8-digit codes with descriptions.

Parametersqueryrequired

estimate_landed_cost

Estimate China to India landed cost

Estimates the door-to-door landed cost in INR of importing goods from China to India with IFC: invoice value, IFC freight/clearance/delivery, insurance, customs duties (BCD, SWS, AIDC) and IGST, using the same engine as the calculator on importsfromchina.com. Estimate only; IFC confirms the final quote. Give weight_kg, cbm or both. If one is not known, leave it out and IFC uses an approximate figure for it (approx idea only; use the exact values from the supplier if available).

Parameterscbmmodecartonshs_coderequiredcurrencyweight_kgproduct_nameinvoice_valuerequired

get_exchange_rates

IFC exchange rates

Returns the exchange rates IFC uses for landed-cost estimates (INR per unit of USD, CNY and INR).

Get a confirmed quote from IFC

Returns how to contact IFC - Imports From China (WhatsApp, calculator, website) for a confirmed China to India shipping and customs clearance quote.

Takes no parameters.

estimate_cbm_from_weight

Estimate shipment volume (CBM) from weight

Gives an approximate shipping volume in cubic metres (CBM) for goods from China from their total gross weight and product type. Use it when the buyer knows the weight but not the CBM. Approximate idea only: if the buyer has the exact CBM from the supplier (packing list), that should be used instead.
