What drives the rate
Importing women's synthetic-fibre suits, knitted (HS 61041300) from the UAE to India attracts a 20% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Women's knitted suits of synthetic fibres carry a 20% MFN basic customs duty, zero under CEPA, with 18% IGST. Women's suits classify as a set only when jacket and lower garment are of identical fabric, construction and size composition; ship them as separates and each piece is assessed on its own line, which can change both the code and the compliance path. Origin needs a change of tariff heading plus 40% value addition, meaning UAE knitting adds origin while cut-and-sew on imported fabric generally does not. MFN and IGST are from ICEGATE; some garment lines also carry an alternate per-piece minimum duty, so confirm the current tariff entry before filing. IGST of 18% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
