India-UAE CEPA Product Coverage & Exclusions
India-UAE CEPA — in force since May 2022 Overview. India-UAE CEPA is in force since May 2022. India's first CEPA of the current round; phased tariff elimination across a large share of tariff lines. This page covers covered tariff lines, sensitive lists and exclusions for trade between India and UAE. Why this matters. A tariff preference is only worth claiming if the product genuinely qualifies under the agreement's origin rules and the paperwork survives scrutiny at clearance. Customs authorities can recover duty retrospectively where a claim is later found unsupported, so the evidence behind a claim matters as much as the claim itself. Reading the schedule. Coverage is set out tariff line by tariff line, not by broad product category. Most agreements phase reductions over several years and carry a sensitive or exclusion list where no preference applies. Check the current schedule for your specific HS code rather than assuming category-level treatment. Key considerations. Frequently Asked Questions. Check the rate for your product.
