Importer Faces Queries Over Valuation of Automated Data Machines, Clarifies Compliance with Customs Valuation Rules and IGST. An importer brought in automated data processing machines with an assessable value of 1 crore, paying zero Basic Customs Duty (BCD) and 18% Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST). However, the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) on the packing list was 2.1 crore. The query raised concerns about potential violations of Customs Valuation Rules and differences between transaction value and MRP. One response clarified that if transactions are not influenced by related parties, the transaction value is valid, and IGST is not based on MRP. Another response suggested correcting any incorrect MRP labeling while goods are still under customs control. (AI Summary)
