Registered Importer status: invoice should show registration number and may state importer, not necessarily the phrase 'Registered Importer'.
An importer who issues an invoice enabling CENVAT credit must be registered under Rule 9(1) and should include its registration number on invoices; the invoice may state the party's nature (Importer or First Stage Dealer). The Cenvat Credit amendment created the label "Registered Importer" for return purposes, but that change relates to quarterly returns rather than imposing a mandatory requirement to use the words "Registered Importer" on the invoice itself.
