SWS is levied at 10% of the total customs duty (basic + other duties) under the Finance Act. It replaced the Education Cess from 2018.

Can IGST paid on imports be claimed as input tax credit?

Yes — IGST paid on imports is fully available as input tax credit (ITC) for registered GST businesses, as long as the goods are used for taxable supply.
