Expect three layers on top of your CIF value: Basic Customs Duty (varies hugely by HS code), a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge on that duty, and IGST (commonly 18%) on the CIF-plus-duty total, which you can claim back as input credit if you're GST-registered. These numbers change with policy, so treat any specific rate as directional and verify against ICEGATE before you commit to a landed-cost number.
