Parts of Footwear components are exempted in the following cases.

1-If captively consumed for the manufature  of dutiable footwear(notifiaction 67/95-CE)

2-If captively consumed for the manufature  of footwear of retail sale price below 250(10/96-CE)

3-If either sent for job work or manufatured by a job worker and used in further manufacture of footwear(Notification 214/86-CE if the footwear is dutiable,notificatoins 83 and 84/94-CE in other situation)

4- IF cleared under notification 8/2003-CE commonly known as SSI exemptions
