What drives the rate
Importing soya-bean oil and its fractions, other (HS 15079090) from the UAE to India attracts a 45% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 5%. This residual code covers soya-bean oil and fractions that are neither crude nor declared edible grade — typically industrial or technical grades and unclassified fractions. CEPA gives a 5% preferential rate against the 45% schedule rate, the same floor as refined edible grade rather than the zero granted to crude. IGST is 5%. The origin rule is a sub-heading change with 40% value addition. Classification is the live risk on this line: assessing officers frequently reclassify residual entries into the edible-grade code, which changes the FSSAI position entirely, so document the end use and specification before filing. Edible-grade consignments need FSSAI clearance. IGST of 5% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
