Duty on Yarn Waste: Clarification on Exemption and Rate Under Notification 23/2003 CE for Export Oriented Units A company operating as a 100% Export Oriented Unit (EOU) imported cotton yarn duty-free under notification 52/2003 Cus. During production, yarn waste was generated and cleared into the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) without duty, claiming exemption under notification 23/2003 CE. The company sought clarification on whether duty is applicable on the yarn waste and at what rate. The response indicated that if the waste is within specified limits, the exemption can be claimed; otherwise, duty must be paid on the assessable value from the Bill of Entry at the prevailing customs rate, with necessary permissions.
