What drives the rate

Importing welded tubes and pipes of iron, other (HS 73061911) from the UAE to India attracts a standard MFN basic customs duty of 15%. Under the India–UAE CEPA the preferential basic customs duty is 0%. On a sample assessable value of ₹10,00,000, total duty falls from ₹3,74,700 at the MFN rate to ₹1,80,000 with CEPA — a saving of ₹1,94,700 per shipment. General-purpose welded iron tube serves construction, water supply, structural and fabrication use — a bulk, price-sensitive import. CEPA removes the full 15% basic duty here, making origin qualification genuinely valuable. The 40% value-content rule depends on where the coil was rolled and the tube formed; UAE tube mills using imported coil need to demonstrate their value addition carefully. Steel safeguard and anti-dumping measures apply independently. Screen for live measures, obtain the mill certificate, and file the Certificate of Origin — on bulk tonnage the 15% differential dominates the deal economics. Social Welfare Surcharge adds 10% on the basic duty and 18% IGST applies on top — though IGST is recoverable as input tax credit, so the lasting benefit is the basic-duty saving. Always confirm the live rate for HS 73061911 on ICEGATE or CBIC before filing.
