What drives the rate
Importing unwrought aluminium, not alloyed — wire bars (HS 76011030) from the UAE to India attracts a standard MFN basic customs duty of 7.5%. 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 ₹2,77,350 at the MFN rate to ₹1,80,000 with CEPA — a saving of ₹97,350 per shipment. Aluminium wire bars are drawn into conductor and cable stock, feeding India's power-transmission and electrical-goods manufacturing. The line has reached zero preferential duty under CEPA, a full 7.5% cut against MFN on UAE-origin metal. The 45% value-content rule is comfortably met by primary metal genuinely smelted and cast in the UAE. As with other unwrought forms, the work is documentary — align the cast and origin certificates with the Certificate of Origin. Confirm the sub-heading precisely, since wire bars, billets and ingots share treatment now but can diverge as the schedule and any safeguard measures evolve. 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.
