Dear Sir,

We are Importer Dealer Registered under Central Excise. We have a order from SEZ unit to supply the goods,

These goods would be imported and supplied to SEZ unit.

By opting Advance Authorisation route, you may import goods without payment of duty and after processing, you may supply to SEZ (after following the set procedure as mentioned Section 30 of SEZ Act for fulfilling the Export Obligations

Dear Sir,

As i mentioned above , we can't go Advance Lic, as it is a trading activity, we are Dealer. not any mfg activity is involved in this transaction.

Then there is no way out.  You would have to pay the Customs Duties.
