AI Summary

IGST on imports can create accumulated input tax credit when customs valuation is high; examine valuation basis and classification. High customs valuation on imports can produce significant IGST on imports, causing accumulation of input tax credit when assessed customs value exceeds sale price. Advisers recommend investigating the basis for customs valuation, identifying goods by HSN and country of origin, confirming end use, and checking whether any additional duty has been levied to determine potential steps to challenge valuation or prevent further ITC accumulation.
