What drives the rate
Importing vacuum pumps, maximum flow-rate above 5 m³/h (HS 84141010) from the UAE to India attracts a 7.5% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Higher-capacity vacuum pumps serve laboratories, packaging, semiconductor and process industries, and India's manufacturing growth sustains the import. CEPA takes the basic duty to zero. The 40% regional-value-content rule applies, and vacuum pumps concentrate value in precision-machined rotors and seals, so a UAE origin claim needs real machining or major assembly locally rather than mounting and testing. Confirm the maker's value breakdown rather than assuming qualification. Note also that this is an HS-2022 code with no direct line in Annex 2A, which is written in HS-2017, so the preferential position should be confirmed against the implementing customs notification. File the Certificate of Origin through eCoO 2.0 — the preference is only as good as the certificate, and a gap reverts the line to the full MFN rate at assessment. The preference is worth 8.25% of assessable value on every consignment — the 7.5-point basic-duty gap plus the 10% Social Welfare Surcharge that rides on it — so it scales with shipment size rather than with effort, and the Certificate of Origin costs the same either way. Social Welfare Surcharge adds 10% on the basic duty, not on the goods, and IGST of 18% then applies to the CIF + BCD + SWS total — IGST is recoverable as input tax credit, so the durable benefit is the basic duty alone. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing; ₹10,00,000 is only the worked example above.
