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 330741 (agarbatti / odoriferous preparations operated by burning) from India to UAE:

Duty in UAE

• UAE import duty: 5% MFN (applied) on this HS code.
• If the UAE customs valuation is based on CIF, the duty is typically calculated on the customs value at import.
• Since this is India → UAE, check whether the shipment can qualify under the India–UAE CEPA only if the product’s exact classification and rules of origin align. For this HS line, the engine context only confirms the 5% MFN duty, so treat any FTA benefit as case-specific and verify before filing.

India-side export benefit

• RoDTEP benefit: 1.4% of FOB for India exports on this HS code.
• This is an export incentive for the Indian exporter, not a UAE import duty reduction.

Documents you should prepare

For this lane, the practical set is:

1. Commercial Invoice

2. Packing List

3. Bill of Lading / Air Waybill

4. Certificate of Origin

5. FTA certificate if claiming any preferential treatment under India–UAE CEPA

6. IEC of the exporter

7. GST registration in India

8. RCMC if claiming DGFT export incentives like RoDTEP

9. Insurance certificate if separately covered

10. LC / payment documents if the transaction uses a letter of credit

11. Product label/spec sheet showing exact description and composition, especially to support HS classification

Compliance points that matter

• IEC is mandatory for export from India.
• Filing is through ICEGATE for customs clearance.
• RCMC is needed if you want to claim export incentives.
• Make sure the product description matches HS 330741 exactly; incense/agarbatti classification can be sensitive if ingredients or form differ.
• UAE customs may ask for a Certificate of Origin and commercial documents to confirm origin and valuation.

Commercial significance of this HS line

• Global trade in HS 330741 is about $406.1M in 2024.
• India is the leading exporter of this product, which is a strong sign that UAE buyers are already familiar with Indian supply.
• The UAE imported about $10.6M of this HS line in 2024, so there is an established market.
