Placement of such a vehicle in a maritime container for safe transit does not convert it into commercial export cargo. Accordingly, re-import duty exemption cannot be refused merely because no Section 51 clearance was obtained on departure. Where electronic Bill of Entry filing requires an IEC or GSTIN that a personal vehicle owner cannot possess, the statutory alternative permitting filing in another manner applies. Customs must accept manual filing and release the vehicle on the required bond. en-us Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 Oct 2026 08:13:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=800315 Private Indian-registered vehicles carrying only passenger luggage fall within the private-conveyance regime under Section 43(1), which does not require commercial cargo reporting or a Section 51 export-clearance order.
