What drives the rate

Importing aluminium circles, not alloyed (HS 76069110) 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 circles are blanked discs drawn into cookware, reflectors and pressed components, with steady Indian demand from utensil manufacturing. CEPA removes the 7.5% basic duty. The 45% value-content rule is met where UAE mills roll and blank the material themselves. Cookware-bound material may face food-contact expectations downstream from the buyer, separate from customs. Because circles are often bought by mid-size manufacturers on thin margins, the duty saving is decisive — make the Certificate of Origin part of the purchase terms rather than an afterthought at the port. 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 76069110 on ICEGATE or CBIC before filing.
