Benefit of no duty import allowed when goods jointly imported by financing company and EOU

Last updated: 08 June 2023
Quick Summary
The CESTAT, Chennai has ruled that an Export Oriented Unit (EOU) and a financing company can jointly claim the benefit of duty-free imports for machinery. This decision overturns a previous demand for customs duty, recognising that the imported goods were indeed used by the EOU for manufacturing. The tribunal noted that while direct joint filing via the EDI system might be problematic, the principle of joint benefit remains valid, especially when the goods are put to use as intended.
