What drives the rate
Importing non-powered lawn mowers, cutting width 75 cm or more (HS 84331910) 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. Manual wide-deck mowers are a niche institutional and estate line where simplicity and low running cost matter. The 7.5% basic duty falls to zero under CEPA. As a purely mechanical product with no engine, the 40% value-content rule is more attainable here than on powered equipment, provided the UAE genuinely fabricates rather than re-exports. Unit values are low, so the temptation is to skip origin paperwork; at container quantities the forgone saving is real. Raise the Certificate of Origin as routine, and confirm the sub-heading against the powered lines to avoid misclassification. 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.
