Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

estimate

estimate_cbm_from_weight

Gives an approximate shipping volume in cubic metres (CBM) for goods from China from their total gross weight and product type. Use it when the buyer knows the weight but not the CBM. Approximate idea only: if the buyer has the exact CBM from the supplier (packing list), that should be used instead.

estimate_landed_cost

Estimates the door-to-door landed cost in INR of importing goods from China to India with IFC: invoice value, IFC freight/clearance/delivery, insurance, customs duties (BCD, SWS, AIDC) and IGST, using the same engine as the calculator on importsfromchina.com. Estimate only; IFC confirms the final quote. Give weight_kg, cbm or both. If one is not known, leave it out and IFC uses an approximate figure for it (approx idea only; use the exact values from the supplier if available).

code

search_hs_code

Searches IFC's Indian import duty database by product words (e.g. "bluetooth speaker", "office chair") or by the first digits of an HS code, and returns up to 10 matching 8-digit codes with descriptions.

contact

contact_ifc

Returns how to contact IFC - Imports From China (WhatsApp, calculator, website) for a confirmed China to India shipping and customs clearance quote.

exchange

get_exchange_rates

Returns the exchange rates IFC uses for landed-cost estimates (INR per unit of USD, CNY and INR).

lookup

lookup_hs_code

Returns the Indian customs duty profile for an 8-digit ITC-HS code on goods imported from China: product description, Basic Customs Duty (BCD), Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS), Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC), IGST, anti-dumping duty, minimum import price, import policy and compliance notes (BIS, WPC, FSSAI, EPR). Data maintained by IFC - Imports From China.
