What drives the rate

Importing dyed woven fabric of carded wool (HS 51111130) from the UAE to India attracts a 10% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Dyed carded-wool fabric attracts a 10% MFN basic customs duty, eliminated to 0% under CEPA. The saving is real but modest, and the dyeing stage is where origin claims usually fail: dyeing alone is generally not enough to confer origin, so the rule here needs a sub-heading change plus 40% value addition traced back to the carding and weaving. IGST is 5%. Unbleached, bleached and dyed carded-wool cloth sit on adjacent eight-digit codes at the same 10% rate, so classification errors rarely change the duty but will still invalidate a Certificate of Origin. MFN and IGST are from ICEGATE; the preferential rate is India's CEPA Annex 2A schedule. IGST of 5% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
