What drives the rate
Importing drinking glasses of lead crystal, other than stemware (HS 70133300) from the UAE to India attracts a 20% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Tumblers and other non-stemmed lead-crystal drinking glasses sit in this code, separated from stemware only by the presence of a stem and foot — a distinction that decides which sub-heading the entry takes, though both currently clear at zero under CEPA against a 20% MFN duty, with 18% IGST. Origin needs a sub-heading change and 40% value addition, so cutting and engraving imported blanks in the UAE is unlikely to qualify on its own. Food-contact lead migration limits apply, and mixed sets containing both stemware and tumblers should be split across the correct codes rather than entered under one. IGST of 18% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
