What drives the rate
Importing bedspreads of silk (HS 63041920) from the UAE to India attracts a 10% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Silk bedspreads carry the same 10% MFN duty as other furnishing made-ups and CEPA takes it to zero, with 18% IGST. What differs is the origin arithmetic: silk fabric is expensive relative to conversion cost, so the 40% value-addition limb that accompanies the change-of-heading rule is much harder to satisfy than it is for cotton or man-made fibre made-ups. Run the value calculation on the actual fabric cost before promising a customer duty-free landed pricing. Anti-dumping and safeguard measures have historically applied to certain silk fabrics rather than made-ups; confirm the current position for the exact code and keep care labelling compliant. IGST of 18% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
