Know the real cost of an import before you place the order

Most first-time import losses are decided before the container ships: the wrong HSN code, a registration nobody checked, a duty assumption that was off. These tools put those answers in front of you first.

The workflow

From the first product idea to goods in your warehouse

Six checkpoints where imports usually go wrong, and what helps at each.

  1. Classify the product

    Find the HSN code that fits the product's material, function and use, not just its name.

  2. Check policy and compliance

    Import policy status plus any BIS, FSSAI, CDSCO, WPC or EPR requirement, before you pay a deposit.

  3. Work out the landed cost

    Factory price is not your cost. Add freight, insurance, duty, IGST, port and clearance, then see your margin.

  4. Source and vet suppliers

    Samples, MOQs, Incoterms and payment terms. Most disputes start with something nobody wrote down.

  5. Order, track and pay

    POs, samples, advance and balance payments, shipment milestones. Keep them in one place, not five chats.

  6. Clear and sell

    Hand your CHA a clean classification and duty sheet, then follow up your own customers just as fast.

The landing charge only raises the value duty is charged on; it is not an extra cost. If you are GST-registered and can claim the ₹2,01,798 of IGST as input tax credit, your cost net of credit is ₹11,51,100 (23.3% margin).

Where the money goes

Where importers lose money, and what we do about it

  • Wrong or guessed HSN code

    A wrong code flips the duty, the policy status and the compliance list. TradeEdge AI shows its reasoning and asks for the facts that change the answer.

  • Registrations found too late

    BIS, FSSAI, CDSCO, WPC or EPR discovered after the PO is the expensive way to learn. Checks come first, per product.

  • Margins built on the factory price

    Freight, insurance, duty, IGST, port and clearance move the real number. The landed cost calculator makes the stack visible.

  • Suppliers and customers scattered across chats

    A Trade CRM keeps every conversation, quote, sample and payment against the right counterparty.

Importers: questions answered

What software do Indian importers need?

At minimum: a way to classify products by HSN code and check duty and compliance before ordering, a landed cost sheet, and one place to track suppliers, quotes, shipments and payments. Orbixel Labs offers TradeEdge AI for the first, a free landed cost calculator for the second and a WhatsApp-first Trade CRM for the third.

How do I find the HSN code and duty for my product?

Start from what the product is made of, what it does and how it is used, then work down chapter, heading and subheading, checking the chapter notes. TradeEdge AI automates this with reasoning you can review, and our HSN guide explains the method. Your customs broker (CHA) makes the final classification call when filing.

Can I calculate landed cost without knowing the exact duty rate?

Yes, with a range. Our landed cost calculator takes the duty and IGST rates you enter, so you can model a low and high case before you have a confirmed HSN code. Confirm the rates for your code before you commit to a price.

Do you help with sourcing from China?

Yes, through Import Launchpad, a separate hands-on service covering demand research, supplier sourcing, compliance review, landed cost and first-import support. The apps on this page are software; Import Launchpad is the done-for-you route.

How much do the importer tools cost?

The landed cost calculator and the guides are free. TradeEdge AI and the Trade CRM are priced by request, based on your volume, team size and what you need connected. Send a request on this page and we reply within one working day.
