Customs duty composition on imported tobacco outlines layered charges including basic duty, surcharge, IGST and cess.
Importation of tobacco under HS 24012000 is subject to multiple customs tax components. The advisory directs users to ICEGATE or the Departmental facility for authoritative rates. A forum reply listed component rates: Basic Customs Duty at thirty percent; Social Welfare Surcharge at ten percent on BCD (effective three percent); Integrated GST at twenty eight percent; and Compensation Cess varying by branding status (nil for unbranded, higher for branded), with a respondent-provided aggregate percentage.
