Preferential tariff verification: suspension of duty concessions pending exporter verification and security requirement for import clearance.
New Chapter VAA (section 28DA) creates a framework for preferential tariff treatment under trade agreements, imposes importer obligations and requires time bound verification from the exporting country; preferential treatment may be suspended pending verification with clearance only on furnishing security equal to the differential duty, and may be denied in certain cases. Section 51B establishes an Electronic Duty Credit Ledger for duty credits in lieu of remission and extends recovery provisions to such credits. Amendments also add confiscation liability for contraventions of preferential claims and empower rulemaking under sections 156 and 157; an explanation preserves pre 2018 notices under section 28.
