What drives the rate
Importing parts of vacuum cleaners (HS 85087000) 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. Vacuum-cleaner parts — motors, hoses, filters and brush heads — feed the service and replacement market behind a fast-growing appliance base. CEPA removes the 10% basic duty. The 40% value-content rule applies per part, and most spares are manufactured in Asia and merely distributed through the UAE, which does not confer origin. Importers running spares programmes should segment their SKUs: genuinely UAE-made parts can carry the preference, traded stock cannot. Claiming across the whole invoice when only part qualifies is a common and avoidable error at assessment. 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.
