Excise in Export of goods

[Guest]

We are in business of setting up new rice mill turnkey projects, as being an agro-processing industry we are exempted from excise. we have taken a new project to setup a complete rice mill in Africa. for that we are buying and export Iron, steel and stainless steel which will be fabricated there to build a Platform structure. while buying these material we have to pay excise to supplier. but we are exporting it. so Do we get that excise refunded? if yes how?

Dear,

you  are not manufacturing  any thing in India , you are just sending only inputs as merchant exporter  In such case you have  to obtain CT-1 option to get relief from excise duty.
