Entitlement to exemption under Customs Notification No.31/1997 (DEEC/advance licence) turns on the date of clearance: Sections 15 and 68 of the Customs Act fix the relevant date for duty and tariff valuation as the date a bill of entry for home consumption is presented and identify clearance from warehouse as the operative event.
