IGST Rate on international purchase of raw material


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A user imported water-based adhesive raw materials from the US and was charged 28% IGST by customs, despite believing the correct rate should be 18%. They are seeking advice on how to dispute this customs duty charge. The consensus is to raise a dispute with customs, as the IGST rate on imports should mirror the domestic GST rate.

03 November 2021 Hello Sirs/Madams,

I recently ordered for adhesive/glue raw material from the US. It was dispatched by EMS Speed Post.
A customs duty was put on the package with IGST rate of 28%. I checked for applicable rates and it seems that for glues, it is only 18%. How do I dispute this customs duty charge ? Kindly advise

Please let me know, thanks..

03 November 2021 To add: I ordered for water based adhesive and for this, gst rate is only 18%. I have attracted about 7k rupees in customs duty with gst at 28%.

04 November 2021 18% IGST only applicable on such imports.
IGST rate on impors will be the same as of local GST rate.

05 November 2021 thank you sir, i will raise a dispute with customs

05 November 2021 You are welcome........
