On ICEGATE the Rate of duty (tariff) is 27.735% and Rate of duty (effective) is 24.49%. So which rate do we need to pay to the customs? 2. Below are the POD charges received from an Indian logistic company. Could you please check if these are reasonable? Not sure why there are 2 DO charges one for logistic company side and another from Shipping line. I thought EDI interface is provided for free by concerned authority i.e. ICEGATE Also they have included Service Charges, is this normal?

Note: As per our HO instruction payments will be accepted by wire transfer ( RTGS / NEFT / IMPS ) and not through DD/Cheques/Cash with effect from 1st of August 2019. Kindly make a note of it and do the needful. Do you know any logistic company in Chennai that would get the job done efficiently and cost effectively?
