Something like the following should work, assuming ITEM is the item
element you have to transcode:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((parent item) (depth 0))
(while (and (setq parent (org-export-get-parent parent))
(case (org-element-type parent)
(item t)
(plain-list (incf depth)))))
depth)
#+end_src

As a good rule of thumb, it's best to rely on tools provided in ox.el.
