Excise exemption for bamboo removes central excise duty on specified bamboo products under tariff classification. The Central Government exempts from the whole of the excise duty bamboo described by physical treatments (split, sawn, cut to length, rounded, bleached, rendered non inflammable, polished or dyed) falling under tariff sub heading 1401.00, replacing the duty specified in the tariff schedule on grounds of public interest under its statutory power.
