What drives the rate
Importing parts of lifts, skip hoists and escalators (HS 84313100) 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. Lift and escalator parts serve installation and the large maintenance market across Indian commercial real estate and metro infrastructure. CEPA removes the 7.5% basic duty. The 40% value-content rule applies, and as with all spares the question is whether the UAE manufactured the part or merely distributed it — only the former qualifies. Lift components also face safety-standard requirements under state lift rules that operate quite apart from customs. Keep the manufacturer's origin declaration with the technical file, and file the Certificate of Origin for every consignment to hold the preference. 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.
