What drives the rate

Importing computer monitors (HS 85285200) from the UAE to India attracts a standard MFN basic customs duty of 10%. This line is currently excluded from CEPA, so the preferential rate stays at the 10% MFN level. On a sample assessable value of ₹10,00,000, total duty is ₹3,09,800 and CEPA adds no basic-duty saving at these rates. Computer monitors are a case where CEPA changes nothing on duty: the preferential rate equals the 10% MFN basic customs duty, so there is no basic-duty saving on the UAE→India lane even with a Certificate of Origin — monitors sit outside India's elimination schedule at this line. IGST is 18% and creditable for registered importers. As IT display hardware they still need BIS registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme and fall under the E-Waste Rules, regardless of origin. MFN and IGST are from ICEGATE; the rate treatment follows India's CEPA schedule. Check your exact 8-digit leaf, as some display types phase differently. Social Welfare Surcharge adds 10% on the basic duty and 18% IGST applies on top — though IGST is recoverable as input tax credit, so the lasting benefit is the basic-duty saving. Always confirm the live rate for HS 85285200 on ICEGATE or CBIC before filing.
