Customs duty exemption for raw hides and skins removes import duty on goods falling in the relevant tariff chapter. Full exemption of customs duty is granted on the importation of raw hides and skins (fresh, salted, dried, pickled or limed), whether or not split, including sheep skins in wool, where those goods fall within the relevant tariff chapter; the exemption is effected by executive notification under the Customs Act on public interest grounds and removes the whole of the customs duty leviable under the First Schedule on the specified goods.
