What drives the rate
Importing mushrooms of the genus agaricus, fresh or chilled (HS 07095100) from the UAE to India attracts a 30% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Fresh Agaricus mushrooms — the common white button mushroom — move to zero preferential duty under CEPA against a 30% MFN rate, one of the larger percentage cuts in the fresh-produce chapter. IGST is 5%. Because Chapter 7 goods follow the wholly obtained rule, the preference is available only for mushrooms grown in UAE facilities; the UAE does operate controlled-environment mushroom farms, so this is genuinely achievable, unlike most fresh produce quoted from the emirates. Confirm the grower's address on the certificate of origin. A DPPQS import permit, phytosanitary certificate and FSSAI licence are required, and cold-chain integrity decides whether the consignment clears at all. IGST of 5% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
