estimate_cbm_from_weight

Gives an approximate shipping volume in cubic metres (CBM) for goods from China from their total gross weight and product type. Use it when the buyer knows the weight but not the CBM. Approximate idea only: if the buyer has the exact CBM from the supplier (packing list), that should be used instead.

estimate_landed_cost

Estimates the door-to-door landed cost in INR of importing goods from China to India with IFC: invoice value, IFC freight/clearance/delivery, insurance, customs duties (BCD, SWS, AIDC) and IGST, using the same engine as the calculator on importsfromchina.com. Estimate only; IFC confirms the final quote. Give weight_kg, cbm or both. If one is not known, leave it out and IFC uses an approximate figure for it (approx idea only; use the exact values from the supplier if available).

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
cbm	number	Total volume in cubic metres. Optional: if left out, IFC estimates it from weight_kg and the product type.
mode	string
cartons	number	Optional number of cartons (improves the CBM estimate when cbm is not given)
hs_code*	string	8-digit Indian ITC-HS code
currency	string
weight_kg	number	Total gross weight in kg. Optional if cbm is given (then an approximate weight is used).
product_name	string	Optional product name for the cost sheet

get_exchange_rates
