https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=89255 CESTAT adjudicated a customs valuation dispute concerning transportation charges for Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF). The Tribunal distinguished between ATF carried in aircraft fuel tanks for airline consumption and ATF imported as cargo. Applying precedent from a previous Larger Bench decision in Jet Airways, the Tribunal held that transportation costs for ATF within aircraft fuel tanks are not includable in the assessable value for customs duty calculation. The key differentiation hinged on whether ATF is a consumable for airline operations or a separately transported cargo. Consequently, the Tribunal allowed the appeal, excluding transportation charges from the customs valuation for remnant ATF carried in aircraft tanks. en-us Tue, 10 Jun 2025 08:43:14 +0530 Tue, 10 Jun 2025 08:43:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=89255 CESTAT adjudicated a customs valuation dispute concerning transportation charges for Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF).
