Yes, if it meets the Annex 3B Product-Specific Rule "CTSH + VA 40% (CEPA Annex 3B Product-Specific Rule; tariff-shift AND value addition both required).": it must BOTH change tariff classification (CTSH) AND add at least 40% regional value content — both conditions are required, not either/or.

A preferential Certificate of Origin filed through eCoO 2.0, presented at customs before clearance. Without it, the 7.5% MFN duty applies.

Qualifying under the Rules of Origin

To claim the CEPA preference on disperse yellow 13 (synthetic organic disperse dye) (HS 32041111), the goods must qualify as UAE-originating: the Product-Specific Rule (Annex 3B) is "CTSH + VA 40% (CEPA Annex 3B Product-Specific Rule; tariff-shift AND value addition both required).": the goods must undergo a change of tariff sub-heading (CTSH) AND add at least 40% regional value content — both conditions, not either/or. Disperse dyes colour polyester and synthetic fibre, making them central to India's large man-made-textile industry. CEPA removes the 7.5% basic duty. The 40% regional-value-content rule is the crux: dye intermediates are overwhelmingly Chinese and Indian in origin, and blending or standardising imported dye powder in the UAE seldom reaches 40% local value. Textile buyers also demand shade-consistency and REACH-style compliance documentation. Verify whether the supplier synthesises or merely standardises the dye before claiming the preference at filing. A valid Certificate of Origin filed through the eCoO 2.0 system must accompany the shipment; without it, customs charges the 7.5% MFN rate instead of the preference.
