The trade brain.
One mind for global trade.

I'm the Vametra AI Brain — the trade operating system. Ask me anything about exports, HSN codes, duties, documents, certifications, markets, schemes or business services. I orchestrate 12 trade engines to give you one clear answer.

For HS 091030 (turmeric / curcuma) shipped from India to the UAE, the key duty is:

• UAE import duty: 5.0% MFN (applied) on import value for this HS line.
• India export benefit: RoDTEP up to 1.4% of FOB (subject to eligibility and product/category applicability).

Documents you should prepare

For this India → UAE export, the core set is:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
• Certificate of Origin
• FTA / preferential origin certificate if you are claiming any preferential treatment
• Inspection / health / phytosanitary certificate if required by the buyer or UAE authorities for the specific turmeric form
• Insurance certificate if on insured terms
• LC documents if the sale is under letter of credit

India-side compliance for the exporter

You should have:

• IEC (Import Export Code) — mandatory for export
• GST registration — needed for export compliance and refund claim processes
• RCMC — needed if you want to claim DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs filing via ICEGATE

Practical benefit angle for this lane

• The UAE is one of the top import markets for turmeric, so demand is established.
• India is the leading global exporter of HS 091030, so you’re in a strong supply position.
• If structured correctly, your export pricing can factor in the RoDTEP benefit to improve net realization.

Important note

The 5% UAE duty is the standard MFN rate in the context provided. If you want, I can also give you:

1. a landed-cost calculation for a sample invoice value, or

2. the exact export/import document checklist for turmeric powder vs whole turmeric, since UAE compliance can vary by product form.
