My Dear Colleagues,

Subject: Release of Cashew Kernels at incorrect tariff rate-reg.

Please refer to notification No. 25/2019-Cus dated 6^th July 2019 wherein the BCD rate on Cashew Kernel broken [0801 32 10], Cashew kernel whole [0801 32 20] and others [0801 32 90] was increased to the tariff rate which is 70%. However, due to an inadvertent error in the ICEGATE system, the tariff rate on the above goods is reflecting to be 30% which is incorrect. Accordingly, it is directed that necessary measures may be taken immediately, to protect the revenue.

With warm regards

Yours sincerely,

(Dr John Joseph)

To:

Pr. Chief Commissioners/ Chief Commissioners,
