What drives the rate
Importing brakes and servo-brakes and parts for motor vehicles (HS 87083000) 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 5%. On a sample assessable value of ₹10,00,000, total duty falls from ₹3,74,700 at the MFN rate to ₹2,44,900 with CEPA — a saving of ₹1,29,800 per shipment. Brake systems and parts are core safety components with heavy OEM and aftermarket demand, and the India-UAE auto-parts corridor moves significant volume. The line sits at a 5% preferential basic duty, reduced from 15% MFN and continuing to step down. Braking components carry AIS certification requirements that clear separately from tariff. The 45% value-content rule is demanding for assemblies built from imported friction material and castings, so genuine UAE fabrication must be shown. Verify the supplier's value split, align the Certificate of Origin, and check the current-year CEPA rate — the preference here is partial, not full. 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.
