What drives the rate
Importing mattresses of cellular plastics (HS 94042190) from the UAE to India attracts a 20% MFN basic customs duty, and the India–UAE CEPA preferential rate is 0%. Polyurethane and memory-foam mattresses sit in this code and clear at zero preferential duty under CEPA against a 20% MFN rate, with 18% IGST. Origin needs a heading change plus 40% value addition: foaming polyol and isocyanate of Chapter 39 into a mattress meets the shift, whereas compressing and rolling imported foam for shipment does not. Roll-packed mattresses are the format most imported from the UAE and their compressed dimensions do not change classification or valuation. Check whether any BIS quality control order covers the foam grade used, since QCO coverage on polyurethane inputs has widened and applies at the border. IGST of 18% is creditable, so the durable benefit is the basic-duty saving. Confirm the live rate on ICEGATE before filing.
