What drives the rate
Importing stemware drinking glasses of lead crystal (HS 70132200) from the UAE to India attracts a 20% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Lead-crystal stemware is a luxury retail line, and CEPA takes the 20% MFN basic duty to zero, with 18% IGST. Two things matter more than the tariff. First, classification: the split between stemware and other drinking glasses, and between lead crystal and ordinary glass, rests on lead-oxide content, so a supplier specification sheet should accompany the entry. Second, valuation: branded crystal is priced far above generic glassware and declared values are routinely compared against brand price lists. Lead migration limits under food-contact rules apply to drinking vessels, and decorative-only pieces should be declared as such rather than as tableware. IGST of 18% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
