Never miss a CEPA preference on a quote.
One call per line: the 12-digit code, the CEPA rate that applies this year, VAT and landed cost. Your quote shows the real duty, not 5% by default.
Send us one real invoice line and we return the code, the rate and the CEPA answer.
Which lines qualify? Three real answers.
Same origin, same 5% standard duty. Two lines clear at 0% under the UAE–India agreement this year. The third is phased: 2.5% now, not 5% and not 0%. The API tells you which is which, before the price goes out.
| Invoice line | Origin | Standard duty | With CEPA | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle parts (HS 8708.99) | India | 5% | 0% | duty eliminated (category A) |
| Wooden furniture (HS 9403.60) | India | 5% | 0% | duty eliminated (category A) |
| Galvanised steel sheet (HS 7210.49) | India | 5% | 2.5% | phased line (category E): 2.5% this year, 0% by year 10 |
Rates checked against the live API on 16 September 2026. Preferences change by agreement year; the API returns the year that applies.
Inside your own system
This API answers the question your clearing agent answers by hand: what does this line cost to land in the UAE this year, and does a preference apply.
- The 12-digit UAE tariff code for the line
- The duty that applies after preferences, by agreement year
- VAT and the landed cost for the line
- Six GCC destinations; 17 UAE trade agreements
