Units Exiting EOU Scheme Must Notify Authorities, Settle Duties Before Final Debonding; No Duty-Free Imports Allowed A unit seeking to exit the Export Oriented Unit (EOU) scheme must notify the Development Commissioner and relevant Customs and Central Excise authorities. The unit should assess and settle duty liabilities, after which a 'No Objection' certificate is issued, allowing them to apply for final debonding. During this interim period, duty-free importation is not permitted. There is no minimum export obligation, only a requirement for positive Net Foreign Exchange Earnings. Duty liabilities on indigenously procured goods must be settled from the current account, and depreciation on capital goods is allowed per Customs notifications. (AI Summary)
