This notification, which is effective as of August 30, 2025, replaces the previous tables with updated values for various products. The changes are made under the authority of the Customs Act, 1962.
The notification outlines specific changes across three tables. Table-1 updates the tariff values for various oils, including crude palm oil, refined bleached and deodorized (RBD) palm oil, and crude soybean oil, as well as brass scrap. Table-2 details new tariff values for gold and silver, including gold bars, gold coins, and silver in various forms, such as medallions and coins.
