Garments made in India enter the United Arab Emirates free of customs duty di bawah India–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), instead of the standard 5% GCC duty. The exemption depends on one document: a CEPA certificate of origin issued in India. This guide explains the certificate, the origin rule, dan apa yang dihematnya. Diperiksa berdasarkan sumber resmi di 7 Oktober 2026.
Tarifnya, in one line
Standard UAE duty on imported clothing is the 5% GCC common external tariff, charged on the CIF value. Under CEPA, which has applied since 1 May 2022, UAE customs exempts goods of Indian origin from customs duty. This covers gaun, kaftan, skirts and scarves alike.
Surat keterangan asal
- Who issues it: an issuing agency in India, through the government’s electronic certificate-of-origin platform (Trade Connect). The certificate is electronic and carries a QR code that UAE customs can verify.
- Who uses it: the importer’s clearing agent in the UAE presents it with the import declaration to claim the exemption.
- Without it: pengiriman membayar penuh 5% duty.
Does my garment qualify?
Untuk pakaian, the CEPA origin rule is a change of tariff heading plus 40% value addition. Secara sederhana, the garment must be made in India from materials of a different kind, seperti potongan kain dan dijahit menjadi gaun, and at least 40% of its value must be added under the agreement’s rules. Garments cut and sewn in India from fabric normally meet the first test. The value-addition test depends on the cost of imported inputs, which is why the issuing agency checks it before it issues the certificate.
Apa yang dihemat dalam pengiriman
Take cotton dresses invoiced at AED 10,000, with AED 600 freight and AED 50 asuransi. The customs value is CIF: AED 10,650.
| Tanpa sertifikat | With CEPA certificate | |
|---|---|---|
| bea masuk | 5% = AED 532.50 | 0% = AED 0.00 |
| Impor PPN, 5% dari (nilai pabean + duty) | AED 559.13 | AED 532.50 |
The duty saving is AED 532.50 on this shipment. Import VAT is usually no cost to a registered business: a UAE VAT-registered importer does not pay it at the border. It self-accounts under the reverse-charge mechanism in its VAT return and recovers the same amount as input tax.
Common mistakes that lose the 0% kecepatan
- Shipping without the certificate, or with details that do not match the invoice.
- Assuming that another Gulf state gives the same exemption. CEPA covers imports into the UAE only. Other GCC states charge the 5% common tariff unless they have their own agreement with India; Oman’s CEPA with India has applied since 1 Juni 2026.
