<h1>Customs Duty Exemption for Gifted Goods: Distribution Certificates Now Required for Compliance with Bilateral Agreements.</h1> Under Notification No. 148/94-Cus, dated 13.7.94, goods gifted free of cost under a bilateral agreement between India and foreign governments are exempt from customs duty. Initially, no distribution certificate was required for such imports. However, bilateral agreements with countries like Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, the UK, and the USA mandate that recipient organizations provide a certificate confirming goods are distributed to the poor without discrimination. The Board now authorizes jurisdictional Assistant Commissioners of Central Excise to issue these certificates, ensuring compliance with the bilateral agreements. This decision should be communicated to all relevant parties.
