    Solution

    Imports into India will be subject to Customs Duty and IGST. Under GST laws, the exporter has the option to pay IGST on exports. Customs duty refers to the tax imposed on goods when they are transported across international borders. In simple terms, it is the tax that is levied on import and export of goods. The government uses this duty to raise its revenues, safeguard domestic industries, and regulate movement of goods.
