SVB Orders on High Seas Sales: Related Importers Must Register If Relationship Influences Pricing (Rule 2(2) Customs Valuation Rules) A query was raised regarding the applicability of Special Valuation Branch (SVB) orders on high seas sales shipments, specifically when a foreign supplier sells goods to a related importer in India, who then sells to another party before the shipment arrives at the port. Responses indicated that if the importer is related to the supplier as per Rule 2(2) of the Customs Valuation Rules, they must register with SVB. The SVB valuation applies if the relationship influences pricing; otherwise, it does not. (AI Summary)
