Abatement Rate on HS 38089390

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Dear Experts,

I referred Notification No. 49/2008-CE(NT) where I found abatement of 30% for Insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, weedicides and pesticides. But in Zuaba website the abatement of 35% is mentioned. The link is https://www.zauba.com/customs-import-duty/herbicides/india.html. Kindly clarify which one is correct.

Regards,

Ganeshan

AI Summary

Abatement rate for pesticide imports disputed; statutory tariff notification prescribes a specific lower abatement while a commercial site shows a higher rate.
Abatement rate for imports under HS 38089390 (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, weedicides and pesticides) is governed by Notification No. 49/2008-CE(NT), which prescribes a specific abatement for those products and a different abatement entry for disinfectants; practitioners should verify the notification and its subsequent amendments rather than rely on third-party website listings.
