9. Procedure for Renewal

Normally, the order issued by the SVB is in operation for a period of 3 years. The order by SVB is passed based on the replies/documents furnished by the importer. If there is any suppression of fact or mis-declaration on the part of importer, necessary penal action will be taken separately in accordance with the provisions of law. If the importer is having continuous imports over a period of time extending beyond 3 years, he has to file replies and documents at least 3 months before the completion of 3 years, so as to take up the renewal of the case. If there is no change in the terms and conditions of the agreement, or pattern of invoicing, the same shall be specifically stated by the importer in the form of an Affidavit. On examining these documents, the SVB order issued in the past will be renewed for a further period of 3 years. If there are no imports from the related supplier beyond a period of 3 years, there is no need for renewal of the circular and the file will be closed in SVB.

AI Summary

Special valuation rules renewal requires advance filing and affidavit confirming unchanged terms to obtain further SVB order. Renewal of SVB orders requires the importer to submit replies and supporting documents at least three months before expiry; if terms and invoicing remain unchanged the importer must file an Affidavit to that effect, and on examination the SVB may renew the existing order for a further three-year period; suppression or misdeclaration may lead to penal action, and absent further imports from the related supplier no renewal is required and the file will be closed.
