Modvat credit on raw materials disallowed generally; integrated manufacturers may claim direct credit for dutiable packaging production. Admissibility of Modvat credit is limited to duty on ready-to-use packaging articles; raw materials used to make packaging are excluded because they are general-purpose and not recognisable as packaging. If raw materials are converted into dutiable ready-to-use packaging treated as final products, credit for the raw materials is admissible. Integrated manufacturers are permitted a procedural simplification to claim credit directly for such raw materials and apply it against duty on final products, without changing the fundamental rule restricting credit to packaging materials.
