Qualifying under the Rules of Origin
Monitors capable of directly connecting to a computer, cathode-ray tube (HS 85284200) is currently excluded from India's India–UAE CEPA tariff offer, so no preferential rate applies regardless of origin. For reference, the Product-Specific Rule for this line is "CTH + VA 40% (CEPA Annex 3B Product-Specific Rule; tariff-shift AND value addition both required).". CRT-connected monitor lines remain in the tariff schedule long after the technology left the mainstream market. The 10% MFN duty applies with no CEPA reduction. The 18% IGST is creditable. Practically, this line matters for legacy industrial and instrumentation displays rather than commercial IT, and BIS registration under the compulsory-registration order still applies to display products. Importers dealing with legacy equipment maintenance should confirm whether their display actually classifies here or under the flat-panel headings, which carry different treatment. Because the line is excluded, customs charges the 10% MFN rate. Confirm eligibility against India's CEPA tariff schedule before assuming any benefit.
