About EximSetu

Built for India's trade community

EximSetu (“EXIM bridge”) is an AI-powered trade compliance platform. It turns HS classification, duty and compliance checks, work that takes hours across CBIC, DGFT and ICEGATE, into a reasoned report in minutes.

Our mission

Classification accuracy that protects your shipment

A wrong HS code leads to short-paid duty, interest, penalties, held goods and demurrage. Most of it is avoidable if the code, the duty and the approvals are checked before the goods ship. EximSetu makes that check fast, affordable and explained, so importers, exporters and CHAs can see why a code is right, not just what it is.

Legally grounded

The same method a customs officer applies

Every report follows the General Rules of Interpretation in order and shows its working, so you, your CHA or an assessing officer can check each step.

  1. STEP 1

    GRI 1

    Heading text and notes first

    Section and Chapter Notes are checked before any heading is chosen.

  2. STEP 2

    GRI 2–3

    Close calls settled by rule

    Unfinished goods, mixtures and sets; the most specific heading; the essential character.

  3. STEP 3

    GRI 6

    Down to 8 digits

    The same logic at subheading level, to the Indian ITC-HS tariff item.

  4. STEP 4

    Duty

    Rates from notifications

    BCD, AIDC, SWS, IGST, cess, anti-dumping duty and FTA rates, with the notification relied on.
