The Ministry of Finance issued Notification No. 77/2024-Customs (N.T.) on November 12, 2024, revising customs tariff values for certain imported goods, effective from November 13, 2024. This update, authorized by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) under Section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962, modifies values in an earlier notification dated August 3, 2001. Notably, the tariff values remain unchanged for several goods, including crude and refined palm oil, crude soybean oil, brass scrap, gold, silver, and areca nuts.
For instance, crude palm oil retains a tariff value of USD 1046 per metric ton, while gold and silver are valued at USD 845 per 10 grams and USD 1109 per kilogram, respectively. Additionally, areca nuts maintain a tariff of USD 6552 per metric ton. This update reinforces consistent customs valuations, helping ensure stable import duties on essential goods. The unchanged values reflect a continued regulatory approach to balance trade and market stability.
