I am directed to refer to this Department’s Office Memorandum F.No.467/104/2001 – Cus-V dated 12th December, 2001 (Circular No. 81 of 2001) wherein guidelines for considering requests for ad-hoc exemption from payment of customs duty under Section 25(2) of the Customs Act, 1962 have been issued. It has generally been observed that the importers are not aware of the correct procedure for seeking ad-hoc exemption as also the details of the documents/information that are required to be submitted along with the request. The importers invariably approach this Ministry only after the goods have arrived at the port of import resulting in payment of heavy demurrage charges.
The said instruction will apply to all EOUs and EHTP/STP/SEZ units whether they are engaged in activities of development of software or otherwise.
Rate of exchange applicable for the purposes of calculation of such anti-dumping duty shall be the rate which is specified in the notification of the Government of India in the Ministry of Finance and Company Affairs (Department of Revenue), issued from time to time, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-clause (i) of clause (a) of sub-section (3) of section 14 of the said Customs Act, and the relevant date for the determination of the rate of exchange shall be the date of presentation of the bill of entry under section 46 of the said Customs Act.

It may not be out of place to mention here that the proper officer should follow the procedure laid down under Rule 10A of Customs Valuation Rules, 1988 to satisfy himself about the possible under-valuation. He should then intimate the importer in writing the ground for doubting the truth or accuracy of the value declared in relation to the goods imported and also provide a reasonable opportunity of being heard, before rejecting the declared value.
