What drives the rate
Importing aluminium alloy tubes and pipes (HS 76082000) from the UAE to India attracts a standard MFN basic customs duty of 10%. 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 ₹3,09,800 at the MFN rate to ₹1,80,000 with CEPA — a saving of ₹1,29,800 per shipment. Alloyed aluminium tube is specified where strength matters — automotive, aerospace-adjacent, structural and pressure applications — and is the higher-value half of the aluminium tube trade. The 10% basic duty falls to zero under CEPA. The 45% regional-value-content rule tests where alloying and extrusion happened, and UAE extruders working from local billet generally qualify comfortably. Buyers should keep alloy and temper certification with the origin pack, since the customer's technical audit and the customs origin check draw on the same mill documentation. File the Certificate of Origin per consignment. 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.
