The above Circular provides the facility of manual filing of Bill of Entry for utilizing the amount of re-credited 4% CVD (SAD) refunds for payment of duty in case of re-credited DEPB / Reward Scheme scrips upto 30.12.2010. However several representations have been received from trade and industry to extend the time upto 30th June, 2011 for using re-credited 4% CVD (SAD) amount in DEPB as they have not been able to utilize the re-credited DEPB / Reward Scheme scrips within the stipulated time.
Circular No. 10 /2011- Customs – Attention is invited to Board’s Circular No 41/2007-Customs dated 29-10-2007 on the above subject. In the said Circular, it was provided that the right holders may furnish a General Bond without security to the Commissioner of Customs prior to the grant of registration, undertaking to execute consignment specific Bonds with the jurisdictional Commissioner of Customs at the port of interdiction within three days from the date of interdiction of any allegedly infringing goods. This arrangement was prescribed considering the fact that at the time of registration but prior to importation, it may be difficult to ascertain and fix the Bond amount corresponding to the value of suspected infringing goods that are to be imported. Further, this would lock in right holders’ money in the form of security.
