Notification No.45/2017-Cus exemption applies to integrated tax (IGST) where 'duty of customs' is interpreted to encompass IGST; the Tribunal analysed the Customs Act definition of duty, the IGST Act definition of integrated tax and levy/collection mechanics, and concluded appellants are entitled to IGST exemption under Notification No.45/2017-Cus.
