What drives the rate

Importing self-adhesive plastic tape in rolls, width not exceeding 20 cm (HS 39191000) from the UAE to India attracts a 10% MFN basic customs duty, and CEPA does not reduce it — this line is excluded from India's tariff offer, so the 10% MFN rate applies whatever the origin. Self-adhesive tape in narrow rolls covers packaging tape, masking, electrical and specialty industrial tapes — a high-volume consumable across Indian manufacturing and logistics. The 10% MFN duty stands with no CEPA reduction, protecting a substantial domestic converting industry that operates on thin margins. The 18% IGST is recoverable. Because tape is bulky relative to value, freight and duty together usually make long-haul import uncompetitive against local conversion, except for specialty grades not made in India. IGST of 18% is creditable, but the basic duty here is a real cost. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
