Industry Overview
India is a vast country and the Indians follow various religions, speak different languages
and follow different customs and traditions. Inspite of this diversity, all people use
Agarbatti (Incense sticks) at all the places of worship, religious functions, festive
occasions, weddings. Agarbatti has paramount importance in India. Besides, it is also
used as air- freshener.
Agarbatti Industry is a real employment generator and is capable of providing
employment to the weaker sections of both the urban and rural populace. Most of the
persons engaged in fashioning Agarbattis are women.
A salient feature of Agarbatti Industry is that raw materials are provided by Agarbatti
units to artisans who do the job of rolling of Agarbatti at their home besides looking after
their children and household work. This largely helps them to supplement their family
income. Agarbatti has become a significant foreign exchange earner because of its
demand in overseas markets.
The burning of incense in religious and social functions has been practised in India since
early times. “Dhup” an aromatic powder or paste is burnt in Indian homes as a fragrant
fumigant and is reputed to possess insecticidal and antiseptic properties. Agarbatti also
known, as Udubattis similar to joss sticks are a development of Dhup.
Agarbattis are obtainable in different colors and with different perfumes. The burning
time of an agarbatti varies from 15 minutes to 3 hours according to quality and size.
Agarbatti is also obtainable in other forms such as dashang (stickly paste or powder),
deep (cones and Dhup, tablets etc.).
About 75% of the agarbattis manufactured are of cheap quality containing only charcoal
powder or low quality sandalwood powder with a mixture of 50% of “wood gun”
powder. Cheap perfumes are used to give them a top note. In superior varieties, essential
8. International Marketing project report 8
oils, purified resins, natural fixatives like amber, musk and civet are used along with
synthetic aromatics. Absolutes are used in the costlier types.
The state of Karnataka is referred to as the Capital of Agarbatti. It is the leading producer
of the agarbatti in India, with Mysore and Bangalore being the main manufacturing
centres. The Mysore region is recognised as a pioneer in the activity of agarbatti
manufacturing and this is one of the main cluster activities that exist in the city.
Significant Characteristics of the Agarbatti Industry
1. Technical-know- how is simple.
2. Sophisticated equipments‟ are not required.
3. Implements/tools used are simple, portable and not costlier.
4. Large capital investment is not required.
5. Initially the industry can be started with a small investment even at the residence of the
artisans.

HS Code for Agarbattis
The agarbattis are shipped under HS codes 33074100
The Harmonized System (HS) is an international product classification protocol used by
customs officials for levying tariffs and controlling quotas on imported goods.The HS is
organized into 21 sections and 96 chapters, accompanied with general rules of
interpretation and explanatory notes. First, the system assigns goods to sections, and then
proceeds to assign these goods to their specific chapter, heading, and subheading, in that
order, as necessary.
The international Harmonized System (HS) is administered by the World Customs
Organization and serves as the foundation for the import and export classification
systems used in the United States. The United States import classification system, the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) administered by the U.S. International Trade
Commission (USITC), and the U.S. export classification system, rely on the international
HS codes for their 4- and 6-digit headings and subheadings. The World Customs
Organization updates the HS System approximately every five years. The year 2012
marked the most recent HS revision, meaning the next revision will not be due until
2017.
The description for the three HS codes is as follows
3307 - Falls under the Section VI - Products of chemicals or Allied Industries and under
Chapter 33 - Essential oils and resinoids; perfumes, cosmetic or toilet preparations.
Handling section 3307 corresponds to Pre-shave, shaving or after-Shave preparations,

Possible Tie-Ups
Tie-ups and collaborations with manufacturing units are necessary for the functioning of
our business operations. We have identified „Shrinivas Sugandhalaya‟ manufacturers in
Bangalore, Karnataka.
We have also found that Shrinivas Sugandhalaya is the largest selling brand of agarbatti
in USA because people love the fragrance and the hexagonal packaging.
For in-land logistics, we have identified companies delivering between Bangalore and
Mumbai. A third party appointed locally will undertake the quality assessment etc.

Business Start-up plan
Our first step will be to establish a current account with HSBC Bank that can handle
FOREX business. The major requirement is to maintain an AMB (Average Monthly
Balance) of Rs. 1,50,000 in a combination of Savings/Current Accounts/Fixed Deposits.
HSBC is also present in United States of America (USA).
Once a current account eligibility is fulfilled, we will approach the office of the Joint
Director General of Foreign Trade (JDGFT) of the west region to apply for IMPORT
EXPORT CODE [10 digit IE CODE] . For applying for an I E CODE- a certificate from
the Bank that states we have a current account operating with the Bank and the account is
obtained.
After the receipt of an I E CODE from the JDGFT- we have attained eligibility for
IMPORT AND EXPORTS of such commodities that are otherwise not restricted nor
permitted by the prevailing EXIM policy that exists at that time.
While exporting a commodity the tax and levies that accrued in exports need to be
reimbursed as drawback/refund with appropriate forms.
There are other benefits also available for exporters to make the pricing competitive to
the international pricing. But for an exporter to be eligible for such benefits- we need to
be a member of the promotion council of our category of exports.
In this case, we aspire to be a part of the Export Promotion Council. We are eligible for it
with a copy of IE code and bank certificate with a chartered accountant‟s certificate of
the export turnover of the preceding 3 years. Even if we have nil export, eligibility is
considered.

Incentives
There is 12% duty drawback for agarbattis.
In the case of perfumed agarbattis, taking into account the incidence of duty on packing
material, the drawback rate has been increased from 9.2% to 12%.
Duty Drawback is the special rebate given under the Section 75 of Indian Customs Act
on exported products or materials. Duty drawback rates or concession are only applicable
on products which are used in the processing of goods manufactured in India and
exported and imported to foreign countries.
Duty drawback rates differ from item to item and are normally fix either as a percentage
of the value of goods exported or as a specific value for every unit of the commodity
being exported.
There is also 7% drawback on BRC (Bank realization certificate)
BRC Bank Realization Certificate is issued by bank to its customers against any specific
documents. Normally BRC is issued by bank to their customer who has been in to export
business on each shipment of export proceeds. Various export promotion agencies
provide incentives, import duty exemptions and other financial assistance to the
exporters. These agencies require to be submitted export proof by exporters to claim such
benefits. One of the proof of exports other than export promotion copy of shipping bill,
Mate Receipt issued by the carrier and/or customs authorized ARE-1 (for goods under
central excise only) is Bank Realization Certificate BRC issued by the respective bank
who received foreign amount for exporters.
