How this duty changes, year by year
India's schedule of tariff concessions (CEPA Annex 2A) sets a preferential rate for each of ten years, not one permanent figure. For HS 32041111 the modality is TEP over 5 years, reaching zero in 2026.

What drives the rate
Importing disperse yellow 13 (synthetic organic disperse dye) (HS 32041111) from the UAE to India attracts a 7.5% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Disperse dyes colour polyester and synthetic fibre, making them central to India's large man-made-textile industry. CEPA removes the 7.5% basic duty. The 40% regional-value-content rule is the crux: dye intermediates are overwhelmingly Chinese and Indian in origin, and blending or standardising imported dye powder in the UAE seldom reaches 40% local value. The Annex 3B rule is conjunctive, so clearing the sub-heading change does not help if the value limb fails — and for a standardiser it usually does, because the imported colourant is most of the cost. Establish which operation the supplier actually performs before a Certificate of Origin is raised: synthesis of the dye is a different proposition from milling, blending to shade and packing. Textile buyers separately demand shade-consistency records and restricted-substance documentation, and those records happen to be the same production evidence customs would want to see behind an origin claim. Assemble them once and use them for both, rather than treating the origin declaration as a shipping formality raised at the last minute. The rate is on a published staircase, not a fixed number: Annex 2A takes this line from 7% in 2022 to zero in 2026 — TEP over 5 years — with 0% the rate for 2026. A supply contract signed across that boundary is worth pricing against the later rate. The preference is worth 8.25% of assessable value on every consignment — the 7.5-point basic-duty gap plus the 10% Social Welfare Surcharge that rides on it — so it scales with shipment size rather than with effort, and the Certificate of Origin costs the same either way. Social Welfare Surcharge adds 10% on the basic duty, not on the goods, and IGST of 18% then applies to the CIF + BCD + SWS total — IGST is recoverable as input tax credit, so the durable benefit is the basic duty alone. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing; ₹10,00,000 is only the worked example above.
