TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY (PART-I, SECTION-1) GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY PUBLIC NOTICE NO. 12 (RE-2005)/2004-2009 NEW DELHI : DATED 26 May, 2005 In exercise of powers conferred under Paragraph 2.4 of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2004-2009 and Paragraph 1.1 of the Handbook of procedures (Vol.I), the […]
Public Notice No. 11/2005 adds Geo Chem Laboratories Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, to Appendix 5 of the Foreign Trade Policy, expanding the list of authorized trade entities.
Update in Public Notice No. 10/2005: Metallic waste and scrap imports in unshredded form allowed only through 22 specified ports and ICDs under Foreign Trade Policy.
Amendment in Foreign Trade Policy 2004-09 via Notification No. 3/2005: Changes to licenses, investment criteria, and benefits for exporters and suppliers.
In exercise of powers conferred by Section 5 of the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992 (No.22 of 1992) read with Paragraph 1.3 of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2004-2009 as amended from time to time, the Central Government hereby makes the following amendments.
The exporters concerned are advised to submit the revised data within 4 weeks from the date of issue of this public Notice to this office, in the form given in “Sub Section XII of Aayaat-Niryaat Form” along with the information required in terms of Appendix-33. ALC concerned would finalise the revision within 4 months from the date of issue of this Public Notice.
The licencing Authority shall compare the self certified copy of relevant portion of Appendix-23 with that of the norms applied in a particular licence and the actual quantity imported in that licence. In this verification process, in case the licence holder has consumed lesser quantity of inputs than imported, customs duty on the unutilized value of imported material along with interest at the rate of 15% per annum thereon is payable.
The matter has been considered in consultation with Central Board of Excise & Customs. It is, accordingly, clarified that since EPCG Scheme is implemented through end use based notifications, the goods being cleared from an EOU under EPCG Scheme would attract a Central Excise Duty equal to aggregate of effective customs duty leviable on like goods imported i.e. Duty calculated after applying end use based notification as per circular dated 15.9.1994 issued from CBEC F.No.305/83/94-FTT. Therefore, EOUs can clear goods under EPCG licence at concessional rate of duty and there is no requirement for any other separate exemption notification in this regard.
