How are export duties calculated in India?
The calculation of export duties in India is primarily based on the product’s value (ad valorem) or quantity (specific duty). For instance, a product valued at ₹10,000 with an ad valorem duty of 10% would incur an export duty of ₹1,000. Additionally, factors like product classification, destination country, and trade agreements play a role in determining the final duty imposed.
