For reference, the Product-Specific Rule for this line is "Wholly Obtained — qualifies on origin, no value-addition test (CEPA Annex 3B).". Dried green peas serve snack manufacturing, flour milling and retail pulse demand. The 50% MFN duty applies with no CEPA concession, alongside yellow peas. The 5% IGST is low. Like all Indian pulse lines this one is governed more by quantitative policy than by tariff — import quotas, registration requirements and port restrictions have applied at various times. Fumigation and phytosanitary compliance add a further layer. Treat the duty as only one input and confirm the live DGFT position before committing to a shipment. Because the line is excluded, customs charges the 50% MFN rate. Confirm eligibility against India's CEPA tariff schedule before assuming any benefit.
