What drives the rate
Importing hand pumps with a measuring device — other (HS 84131910) from the UAE to India attracts a 10% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. This residual line captures manual measuring pumps not covered by the fuel-specific sub-heading, used across agriculture, small industry and workshops. CEPA removes the basic duty. Being a straightforward mechanical product, the 40% value-content rule is more attainable than for powered or electronic goods, but the claim still needs genuine UAE manufacture rather than regional distribution. Where a measuring device is fitted, Legal Metrology model approval applies on a separate track and gates use in trade regardless of the duty route. Classify carefully between this line and the fuel-dispensing sub-headings, since the duty and compliance treatment differ and a residual line is exactly where a misclassification lands unnoticed. File the Certificate of Origin per consignment rather than relying on a blanket declaration across a mixed order. India's schedule (Annex 2A, modality TEI) took this line to zero in the agreement's first year, 2022, so the preference is fully phased in and nothing further changes. The preference is worth 11% of assessable value on every consignment — the 10-point basic-duty gap plus the 10% Social Welfare Surcharge that rides on it — so it scales with shipment size rather than with effort, and the Certificate of Origin costs the same either way. Social Welfare Surcharge adds 10% on the basic duty, not on the goods, and IGST of 18% then applies to the CIF + BCD + SWS total — IGST is recoverable as input tax credit, so the durable benefit is the basic duty alone. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing; ₹10,00,000 is only the worked example above.
