Amendment in Para 4.14 and 4.16 (ii) of the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20 - 53/2015-20 - Foreign Trade Policy

Integrated Tax and Compensation Cess exemption: Advance Authorisations now exempt for physical exports and specified domestic supplies, pre-import condition removed.

Amendment to Para 4.14 clarifies that imports under Advance Authorisation are exempt from specified customs duties and expressly extends exemption from the Integrated Tax and Compensation Cess to imports for physical exports and certain notified domestic supplies; the transitional exemption period is updated. Deletion in Para 4.16(ii) removes the pre-import condition by eliminating the reference to jurisdictional customs authority, thereby permitting Advance Authorisation importers and deemed supplies to claim the Integrated Tax and Compensation Cess exemption in accordance with Department of Revenue notifications.
