What drives the rate
Importing crude soya-bean oil, whether or not degummed (HS 15071000) from the UAE to India attracts a 45% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Crude soya-bean oil is a bulk edible-oil line, and CEPA takes it from the 45% tariff-schedule rate to zero preferential duty, with 5% IGST. Origin is workable here: the rule is a change of sub-heading plus 40% value addition, and crushing imported soya beans of Chapter 12 into crude oil clears the tariff shift — but the value-addition test must be met as well, which bare trans-shipment cannot do. Two cautions before you price: edible oils also carry AIDC, and the applied MFN rate is set by effective-rate notification rather than the First Schedule. Check the current notification and hold an FSSAI licence. IGST of 5% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
