What drives the rate

Importing refined soya-bean oil, edible grade (HS 15079010) from the UAE to India attracts a 45% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 5%. Refined edible-grade soya-bean oil does not go to zero under CEPA. India scheduled it to a 5% preferential floor against the 45% tariff-schedule rate, protecting domestic refiners from duty-free refined imports while crude oil moves freely — the classic split between crude and refined in Indian edible-oil policy. IGST is 5%. Origin requires a sub-heading change plus 40% value addition, and refining crude oil of the same heading may not clear the shift, so check the exact input classification. Edible oils also attract AIDC and are governed by effective-rate notifications that move often. FSSAI licensing and packaging-declaration rules apply. IGST of 5% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.

Import compliance & clearances

Beyond duty, importing refined soya-bean oil, edible grade (HS 15079010) into India requires the following regulatory clearances. The CEPA preferential rate does not waive any of these — they apply regardless of origin.
