Dear Rahul,

In addition to reply submit by Mr. Naveed, we do hereby clarify that there would be no VAT/CST chargeable under DVAT Act,2003 in case of export of wigs. You would have to check the export policy in this regard that whether it is free, restricted or prohibited.

At the time of VAT/CST assessment you would have to submit following documents duly certified by your Authorized signatory to the DVAT Authorities to claim the export benefits, viz:-

1. Export Invoice along with Packing list (photocopies).
2. Shipping Bill (Export Promotion Copy) (photocopy).
3. Bill of Lading (photocopy of non negotiable copy).
4. Bank Realization Certificate (photocopy).
