Garments made in India enter the United Arab Emirates free of customs duty под Индией–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, и что это экономит. Checked against official sources on 7 Октябрь 2026.
Ставка, 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 Может 2022, UAE customs exempts goods of Indian origin from customs duty. This covers платья, кафтаны, skirts and scarves alike.
Сертификат происхождения
- 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.
- Без этого: поставка оплачивается полностью 5% duty.
Does my garment qualify?
Для одежды, the CEPA origin rule is a change of tariff heading plus 40% value addition. Проще говоря, the garment must be made in India from materials of a different kind, например, ткань, вырезанная и сшитая в платье, 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.
На чем можно сэкономить на доставке
Take cotton dresses invoiced at AED 10,000, with AED 600 freight and AED 50 страхование. The customs value is CIF: AED 10,650.
| Без сертификата | With CEPA certificate | |
|---|---|---|
| Таможенная пошлина | 5% = AED 532.50 | 0% = AED 0.00 |
| Импортный НДС, 5% из (таможенная стоимость + 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% ставка
- 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 Июнь 2026.
