What drives the rate

Importing motor-vehicle parts — bumpers and parts, for tractors (HS 87081010) from the UAE to India attracts a standard MFN basic customs duty of 15%. Under the India–UAE CEPA the preferential basic customs duty is 3.5%. On a sample assessable value of ₹10,00,000, total duty falls from ₹3,74,700 at the MFN rate to ₹2,25,430 with CEPA — a saving of ₹1,49,270 per shipment. Tractor bumpers and related parts feed India's large agricultural-machinery market and aftermarket, and the UAE auto-parts trade supplies a share. This line is mid-CEPA-path at a 3.5% preferential basic duty, down from 15% MFN — a substantial partial cut with more to come. Auto parts must meet a heading change plus 45% regional value content, a demanding rule where pressings and mouldings use imported inputs, so a UAE origin claim needs real local fabrication. Confirm the supplier's value content, align it to the Certificate of Origin, and verify the current-year rate before filing. 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. Always confirm the live rate for HS 87081010 on ICEGATE or CBIC before filing.
