What drives the rate
Importing bedspreads, knitted or crocheted (HS 63041100) from the UAE to India attracts a 10% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Knitted or crocheted bedspreads are furnishing made-ups, and CEPA removes the basic duty, leaving 18% IGST — the tax, not the tariff, is the working-capital item on home textiles, though it is recoverable as input credit. The origin rule is a change of heading plus 40% value addition. For made-ups this is usually satisfiable, since fabric enters under the knitted-fabric headings of Chapter 60 and the finished article sits in 6304, so the shift limb is clear; the value limb is the one to test, because cutting and stitching alone may not carry 40% on high-value fabric. Retail packs need Legal Metrology declarations and care labelling applied before clearance rather than after, which is a production decision at origin. India's schedule (Annex 2A, modality TEI) took this line to zero in the agreement's first year, 2022, so the preference is fully phased in and nothing further changes. The preference is worth 11% of assessable value on every consignment — the 10-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.
