Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
The Tribunal held that Exemption Notification No. 108/95-CE does not apply to 100% EOU but duty calculation should consider all customs duties under Customs Notification No. 84/97-Cus. The clearance of goods to UNICEF falls under the Customs Notification, exempting custom duty. The Tribunal agreed with the Commissioner's legal analysis, treating clearances by 100% EOU as imports, citing case laws like Ratnagiri Textiles Ltd and Handum Industries Ltd. The impugned order denying the exemption was set aside, allowing the appeal.
Issues Involved: - Interpretation of Exemption Notification No. 108/95-CE dated 28.08.1995 for 100% EOU - Applicability of Customs Notification No. 84/97-Cus dated 11.11.1997 for duty calculation
Summary: The appeal challenged the denial of Exemption Notification No. 108/95-CE dated 28.08.1995 for goods clearance to UNICEF by the appellant's 100% EOU. The Commissioner (Appeals) held that the said Notification does not extend to 100% EOU, applicable only to DTA Unit. The appellant argued for consideration of Notification No. 84/97-Cus dated 11.11.1997 for duty calculation based on a previous order-in-appeal. The revenue contended that the appellant is liable to pay duty as the Exemption Notification is not extendable to 100% EOU.
Upon review, it was found that while Exemption Notification No. 108/95-CE dated 28.08.1995 is not available to 100% EOU, the duty calculation for 100% EOU must consider all customs duties along with Customs Notification No. 84/97-Cus dated 11.11.1997. The clearance of goods to UNICEF falls under the purview of the Customs Notification, exempting custom duty. The Commissioner (Appeals) in the appellant's previous case provided a detailed analysis citing relevant case laws, emphasizing the legal fiction treating clearances by 100% EOU as imports. The Tribunal concurred with the Commissioner's reasoning, supported by case laws like Ratnagiri Textiles Ltd and Handum Industries Ltd, and set aside the impugned order, allowing the appeal.
