What drives the rate
Importing aluminium hollow bars, not alloyed — hollow sections (HS 76041031) 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. Non-alloy aluminium hollow bars serve tubing, structural and light-engineering uses, a steady semi-fabricated import from the UAE. This sub-heading has reached the zero preferential rate under CEPA — a full 7.5% saving against MFN. The 45% value-content rule is met where genuine UAE casting and extrusion add the required value; simple re-export of finished sections will not qualify. Confirm the process origin with the producer and align it to the Certificate of Origin. With the full duty removed, the certificate is the single most valuable document in the consignment — file it through eCoO 2.0 without fail. 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.
