SEZ - DTA- Exports Clarification

[DK AGGARWAL]

Dear Sir or Ma’am,

We are a business house in New Delhi and want to get material made on job work basis in an SEZ in Mangalore. Alternatively, we want to BUY material from SEZ in Mangalore for exports. We don’t want to pay customs duty or IGST. What is the procedure for buying material from an SEZ unit for exports without payment of IGST or Customs Duty when we are buying or getting the product manufactured for Exports. We request for clarification and your assistance. There are two scenarios:

1: Can the SEZ Manufacturer do a BILL TO SHIP TO Transaction for Exports where the BILL TO party is in India and the SHIP to party is outside India?

2. What is the procedure for Job Work done by an SEZ unit for exports by the DTA Customer.

3. Are there any statutory requirements and which is the best course forward.

Thank You!

DTA will purchase from SEZ on payment of IGST and after exporting the said goods and you can claim refund/rebate as Merchant Exporter.
