How ImpexQ Works

From HSN code lookup to landed cost calculation, FTA benefits, and export incentives — here's everything ImpexQ does to make Indian trade simpler.

Five Tools. One Platform.

Each tool is designed around a real problem Indian traders face every day.

🔍01

Search Any Product

Type any product in plain English — "basmati rice", "cotton t-shirts", "LED bulbs", "pharma API" — and ImpexQ instantly returns the correct 8-digit ITC-HS (HSN) code, GST rate, Basic Customs Duty, import/export policy, and required licences.

🔍
🧮02

Calculate Landed Cost

Enter your Ex-Works price, freight, insurance, and packing costs. ImpexQ builds the full CIF value, applies BCD + SWS + IGST (for India imports), detects active FTAs, and shows your final landed cost per unit — with a waterfall breakdown of every cost stage.

🧮
💰03

Discover Export Incentives

Get your RoDTEP rate, Duty Drawback percentage, and MEIS/RODTEP eligibility for any product. Know exactly how much you can claim back per shipment — reducing your effective export cost.

💰
🤝04

Check FTA Benefits

ImpexQ covers 19+ countries with active or negotiated FTAs with India. Enter your product and destination country to see whether a Free Trade Agreement applies, what the reduced duty rate is, and what origin certification you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Email us at support@impexq.com

Is ImpexQ free to use?
Yes. The Free plan gives you 3 HSN searches per day with no credit card required. The Pro plan (₹499/month or ₹4,999/year) unlocks unlimited searches, unlimited saves, PDF exports, and 100 buyer contacts/month. The Business plan (₹999/month) adds unlimited Find Buyers access with no monthly cap.
How accurate are the HSN codes?
ImpexQ's intelligence engine is trained on the official Indian Customs Tariff Schedule and DGFT trade data. Accuracy is high for standard products. For highly specialised or ambiguous goods, we always recommend verifying with a licensed customs broker before filing.
What is an ITC-HS code (HSN code)?
ITC-HS stands for Indian Trade Classification based on the Harmonised System. It's the 8-digit code used by Indian Customs, DGFT, and the GST council to classify every tradeable product. Correct classification determines your duty rate, GST rate, import/export policy, and eligibility for export incentives.
What is RoDTEP?
Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) is India's export incentive scheme that refunds embedded taxes paid at the production stage that are not otherwise recovered. It replaced MEIS. Rates vary by product and are notified by DGFT — ImpexQ fetches the current rate for any product you search.
What is FTA eligibility?
India has signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and Preferential Trade Agreements with 19+ countries including the UAE (CEPA), Australia (ECTA), UK, and ASEAN nations. Under an FTA, goods that meet the Rules of Origin criteria attract a reduced or zero import duty at the destination. ImpexQ checks whether your product-destination combination qualifies.
Does ImpexQ cover exports as well as imports?
Yes. For exports from India, ImpexQ shows the export policy, RoDTEP rates, Duty Drawback percentages, required export licences, and top export markets with destination duty rates. The calculator supports both import landed cost and export CIF analysis.
What does "landed cost" mean?
Landed cost is the total cost of an imported product at your door — including the Ex-Works price, freight, insurance, customs duty (BCD), social welfare surcharge, and IGST. It's the real cost per unit that determines whether an import is viable.
Is my data secure?
Yes. We use secure, encrypted infrastructure for all data storage and transit. Your search queries are used only to deliver results — we do not sell your data or use it for advertising. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
What is the Chrome Extension (HSN Scout)?
HSN Scout is a Chrome extension that lets you search HSN codes from any browser tab without opening ImpexQ.com. It's useful while browsing supplier catalogues, shipping documents, or trade portals. It connects to your ImpexQ account and shares your daily quota. Install it free from the Chrome Web Store.
Can I use ImpexQ for both personal and business use?
Yes. ImpexQ is used by individual traders, import/export managers, customs consultants, and chartered accountants. The Pro plan supports business use with unlimited searches and saves.
What is Find Buyers?
Find Buyers is ImpexQ's importer directory — a database of verified companies worldwide that import Indian products like psyllium, spices, herbs, rice, and more. Free users can see company names and product categories. Pro users get direct email, phone, and address for up to 100 companies per month. Business users have unlimited access with no monthly cap.
How is the buyer database built?
Our buyer database is compiled from trade databases, business directories, and publicly available trade data. Each record includes company name, country, products sourced, and where available: contact person, email, phone, and address. Data completeness is shown on each card. We continuously expand coverage — new countries are added regularly.
What is the difference between Pro and Business?
Both plans include all trade tools (HSN search, calculator, RoDTEP, FTA checker). The key difference is Find Buyers access: Pro users unlock 100 verified contacts per calendar month, while Business users have unlimited access with no cap. Business also includes CSV export (coming soon) and priority support.
