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..
