The items which are not listed in the central excise tariff is free from central excise leve, however I would like to tell you that there is hardly any item which is free from cenvat levy. Yes, by general exemptions many items have been made free from levey of duty, but no such list can be provided. Better contact the department or any consultant to know if your item attracts duty or not.

Some primary agricultural products definitely attracts NIL rate of duty.

AI Summary

Exemptions from CENVAT levy hinge on General Exemption Notifications and tariff classification determining duty status. Products free from CENVAT levy are identified primarily by General Exemption Notifications in the Central Excise Tariff; exemptions may be absolute, partial or conditional. Items not listed in the tariff typically fall outside excise charge, but in practice exemption status depends on tariff classification and notification-based exemptions. Primary agricultural products commonly attract a nil rate, yet specific liability must be determined by reference to the tariff entry and relevant exemption notifications.
