What Value Addition InfodriveIndia makes ?
Earlier the data contained Names but not complete address or contact information. Indian Govt has stopped release of Names in India Trade data since 2004 via notification no 128/2004, since then gradually all ports have stopped publishing names. However sometimes ports do release data with names.
Addition of Address , Email , Tel , Contact Person of Indian Companies.
Earlier the data contained Names but not complete address or contact information.
InfodriveIndia with the help of Indian Company profiles databases maintained by it, adds other important details like Address , Email , Tel , Contact Persons of Indian Companies wherever possible on best effort basis.
InfodriveIndia has petitioned CBEC and lobbying with Govt authorities to secure release of Names under Freedom of Information Act as release of Names is very important for transparency and growth of Indian Foreign Trade.
You may send a Petition to concerned authorities at www.dailylistusers.org a Association of Indian Trade Data users to voice your opinion.
Over 350 petitions have been sent so far.
Addition of Indian Harmonized Code Descriptions
InfodriveIndia maintains a daily updated Indian Harmonized Code Database, with the help of this data InfodriveIndia Team adds the “Standard HS Description”.
In Indian Export Import Data the “Actual product description” and HS Code often varies and classification is often wrong, due to poor control at the time of submission of documents by Indian Exporters Importers and hence InfodriveIndia adds the Indian Harmonized Code Descriptions to highlight the anomalies.
Note : We do not change or try to classify the HS Codes or actual descriptions. This feature is not available online yet.
Addition of Indian Import Duty , Indian DEPB Rates , Duty Drawback Rates , HS Codes live Links.
InfodriveIndia maintains a daily updated and online Indian Import Duty, Duty Drawback, DEPB Rates and Indian Harmonized Code Database, and with the help of this data InfodriveIndia Team adds Live online links to see the corresponding rates in the data.

Addition of Indian Import Duty Rates.
InfodriveIndia calculates and adds “ Applicable Custom duty “ from the Indian Import Duty databases in Indian Import Data.
Since Indian Customs follows any General Exemptions and Notifications apart from prescribed rate of duty, “Applicable Custom Duty” could be different from “Actual Custom Duty” charged.
However it is seen that it is same in 90% cases.
Addition of Value in US Dollars
India data contains value in Indian Rupees and it is difficult to calculate the prices as the exchange rates prescribed by Indian Customs are different from market exchange rates.
To resolve this problem , InfodriveIndia converts the value in US Dollars as prescribed during the date of transaction by Indian Customs.
Time Lag - Indian Export Import Trade Data
The data is uploaded on a daily basis to provide customers data on near “real-time“ on best effort basis as there are still problems in getting timely data updates from Indian Govt authorities.
InfodriveIndia manages to provide data with a time lag of just 3 days, compared to other sources like DGCIS and Ministry of Commerce which still take around 3 months to 6 months.
Authenticity, Accuracy , and Completeness - Indian Export Import Trade Data
Authenticity
InfodriveIndia does not tamper with the data. Data is 100% authentic and “as released” by Indian Govt.
Accuracy
Import Data has been noted to show sometimes problems in valuations and InfodriveIndia does takes up such issues with Govt Authorities.
Completeness
We do find that Data is not 100% complete. In Imports the coverage is better, around 90% to 95%, probably as Indian Govt gets Customs Duty from Imports.
In Exports the coverage is little less, probably around 85%.
The percentage of lost data varies time to time. It also depends from Port to Port. In Ports where EDI systems are in place, coverage is better.
With planned computerization of all ports by Govt of India, we look forward to overcome such problems in future.
