EOUs can clear goods into DTA with Central Excise duty; indigenous goods treated as imports for Customs Duty.
Export Oriented Units (EOUs) can clear excisable goods made from indigenous materials into the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) by paying only Central Excise duty. Indigenous goods supplied to EOUs are treated as imported goods, requiring applicable Customs Duty upon transfer to DTA. EOUs can also clear domestically procured goods on payment of Excise Duty, provided deemed export benefits are addressed. If goods are non-excisable or subject to nil import duty, EOUs must repay duty on inputs used. EOUs can import or procure inputs at concessional or nil duty rates if they meet specific conditions, without needing new registrations under certain rules.
