What drives the rate
Importing table and kitchen glassware of glass-ceramics (HS 70131000) from the UAE to India attracts a 20% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Glass-ceramic tableware — the thermal-shock-resistant cookware and serveware sold under names like borosilicate ovenware — carries a 20% MFN duty that CEPA removes entirely, with 18% IGST. Origin is a change of sub-heading plus 40% value addition, which UAE glassworks forming articles from imported raw glass can meet, but decorators who only print or repack imported blanks cannot. For food-contact glassware, FSSAI packaging and food-contact-material rules apply alongside customs clearance, and lead and cadmium migration limits are the specific test point. Retail packs also need Legal Metrology declarations, including net quantity and importer details, applied at origin. IGST of 18% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving.
