What drives the rate
Importing dried peas (pisum sativum) — green peas (HS 07131020) from the UAE to India attracts a 50% MFN basic customs duty, and CEPA does not reduce it — this line is excluded from India's tariff offer, so the 50% MFN rate applies whatever the origin. Dried green peas serve snack manufacturing, flour milling and retail pulse demand. The 50% MFN duty applies with no CEPA concession, alongside yellow peas. The 5% IGST is low. Like all Indian pulse lines this one is governed more by quantitative policy than by tariff — import quotas, registration requirements and port restrictions have applied at various times. Fumigation and phytosanitary compliance add a further layer. Treat the duty as only one input and confirm the live DGFT position before committing to a shipment. IGST of 5% is creditable, but the basic duty here is a real cost. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
