The Harmonised System code 4016.99.20 determines the import duty rate in the destination country. It must appear consistently on every export document. An incorrect code can result in the wrong duty being assessed or goods being held for reclassification.
Confirm the applicable duty rate for HS 4016.99.20 with your customs broker in your country before placing your first order.
All exports from India are zero-rated under the GST Act — meaning the exporter charges 0% GST on the export invoice. We export under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT). Your invoice from Kaniskaa Rubber Industries will clearly show 0% GST. You do not pay any Indian tax on your purchase.
For your first shipment from India, we recommend using a freight forwarder with experience in Indian manufacturing exports. They handle classification, duty payment and last-mile delivery. We can provide references from forwarders our existing international buyers use.
Key export documents: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, Shipping Bill (Indian customs), GST Export Invoice with LUT (zero-rated), and Bill of Lading or Airway Bill. Some countries also require a phytosanitary certificate or quality inspection certificate.
