Company Seeks to Export Unviable Gen Set, Willing to Pay Pro Rata Duty Under Section 74 of Customs Act 1962 A company imported a Gas Base Gen Set under the EPCG Scheme in 2011 but now finds it unviable due to increased gas prices and seeks to export it. Having fulfilled 60% of their export obligation, they are willing to pay pro rata duty with interest for the unfulfilled part. They inquire about the procedure for exporting the goods. It is advised that they can re-export under Section 74 of the Customs Act, 1962, after obtaining permission from the Board, though they will not receive a duty drawback. They must submit an application to CBE&C, which may impose conditions to protect revenue. (AI Summary)
