Free tools

Free customs tools: work the number before you commit to it.

Free, no account, no trial. Each one is built on the primary instrument and names it beside every figure, so you can check the answer instead of trusting it. New to duty credit? Start with duty-credit scrips explained end to end.

Customs duty calculator

Basic customs duty at the First Schedule rate, the Social Welfare Surcharge, integrated tax and compensation cess, each with the base it is charged on, and the one line a duty-credit scrip can pay.

  • 11,951 tariff items
  • Duty on 11,942 of them checked against ICEGATE
  • Every figure carries the instrument that sets it

RoDTEP calculator

The rate as a percentage of FOB value and the value cap in rupees per unit, with the lower of the two applied and the binding one named, separately for Appendix 4R and Appendix 4RE, and then what the resulting duty-credit scrip is worth in cash.

  • 10,872 tariff items live in the schedule
  • Value caps applied, not just rates
  • Every figure carries its notification

Scrip value calculator

Indicative sale proceeds for an exporter and indicative duty-cover cost for an importer, at any face value, derived from the two rates the pricing page publishes and works through. Every figure is labelled indicative: a real scrip is priced live when a price is asked for.

  • Both sides: sell and cover
  • Derived from the published pricing example
  • Indicative, never a quote

HS codes

Every tariff item with the standard rate of basic customs duty, the integrated tax rate, the import policy where it is anything other than free, and the whole bill worked out on its own page.

  • 22 sections, 96 chapters
  • One page per tariff item
  • Search by code or by what the goods are

Port codes

Every customs location code ICEGATE publishes, searchable by code, city, state or facility, with a page for each one saying what the last character makes it and what the shipping bill filed there does to a duty-credit scrip.

  • 586 customs location codes
  • Facility checked against CBIC's own Category column
  • A page per code, and one per city

Why these are free, and what that costs you

Nothing here asks for an email, and none of it is a trial of something else. Scriphouse makes money when a duty-credit scrip changes hands, and a reader who can work out their own duty bill is a reader who can tell whether a scrip is worth their time. The tools are useful to us because they are useful to you, which is the only arrangement that survives contact with a second visit.

What it costs you is that the answers are as good as the primary sources and no better. Every figure names the instrument it comes from, the sources behind them are re-checked on a schedule and each tool says when that last happened, and where the sources do not settle a question the tool says so rather than filling the gap. That is slower to read than a single confident number, and it is the difference between a figure you can put in front of a customs broker and one you cannot.

What is here today

Four things, and they are listed above because they exist. There is no roadmap on this page and no waiting list. When the next tool works, it will appear here, and until then this page will not pretend otherwise.

Two of them are the same shipment seen from opposite ends. The customs duty calculator answers what a Bill of Entry will cost an importer; the RoDTEP calculator answers what a shipping bill will earn an exporter, and then what that entitlement is worth in cash once it becomes a scrip. Between them they cover both sides of the trade a duty-credit scrip moves across, and the tariff pages under them hold the schedule both are read against.
