What drives the rate
Importing screw hooks and screw rings of iron or steel (HS 73181300) from the UAE to India attracts a 15% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Screw hooks and rings serve construction, furniture, rigging and general hardware retail. The 15% basic duty falls to zero under CEPA. As simple cold-formed steel parts, the 40% value-content rule is attainable where the UAE genuinely manufactures — but this category is dominated by imported hardware distributed through regional wholesalers. Load-rating claims on rigging-grade hooks matter commercially and are the buyer's concern rather than customs'. Verify manufacture explicitly, and split CEPA claims by line on the mixed hardware invoices typical of this trade. IGST of 18% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving.
