Dear Sir,

Hope you will be charging for the items supplied from such mould/die/tool. In such case induce the cost of such mould/die/tool into the price of the items supplied.

When you are getting reimbursement from the customer for such mould/die/tool you treat such consideration as advance for the items manufactured using the mould/die/tool. Any how for the time of supply of goods the date of receipt of payment is not considered as per notification no.66/2017 CT dated 15.11.2017.

Kindly look into RBI/FEMA regulations for the receipt of advance for export of goods to check the restrictions if any.
