IGST Exemption Denied for Destroyed Imported Waste Paper; Remission Under Section 23 Only Before Clearance A query was raised regarding the exemption under Section 50/2017-Customs for imported waste paper destroyed in a fire, which had already incurred IGST. The response clarified that IGST exemption cannot be availed. According to Section 23 of the Customs Act, remission of duty for lost, destroyed, or abandoned goods is possible only before goods clearance.
