Qualifying under the Rules of Origin

Computer monitors (HS 85285200) 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).". 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. Because the line is excluded, customs charges the 10% MFN rate. Confirm eligibility against India's CEPA tariff schedule before assuming any benefit.
