What am I looking at?

The Bill of Entry is the import declaration filed with Indian Customs. It must be filed before the ship arrives, or a late fee applies. Once assessed, duty is paid and customs grants out-of-charge, at which point the cargo may leave the port. This screen shows the filing position and the duty calculation in the order the law applies it.

Filing deadline: Counted against the vessel's arrival. An unfiled entry inside the window is shown as a countdown.
Duty cascade: Basic Customs Duty is charged on the assessable value; the Social Welfare Surcharge is charged on the duty; IGST is charged on all three added together.
IGST marked recoverable: IGST is reclaimed as input tax credit, so it is cash flow rather than cost. It is deliberately excluded from the landed cost figure.
