AI Summary

Manufacturer Seeks Duty-Free Import Advice; Needs Export Promotion Scheme Eligibility or Incentive Scripts from Chapter 3 Schemes A manufacturer inquires whether they can import inputs duty-free based on their previous exports. One response indicates that since the exports were likely not declared under an Export Promotion Scheme, they may not qualify for duty-free imports, advising consultation with a customs house agent or legal counsel. Another response clarifies that duty-free import is not possible solely based on exports unless eligible under incentive scripts from Chapter 3 schemes, suggesting obtaining such scripts or applying for an advance authorization to import inputs duty-free for manufacturing and subsequent export.
