I imported a brand new machine from China worth Rs. seven lacs for my business.
The custom officers insist that the machine is secondhand. No argument is good with them.
What is the maximum damages for me? What are the laws and notifications concerning this matter?
Matter is pending and Port dammurages are running high.
What are the remedies available?

Dear Sir,

Basically we are importers and selling in India through our distributors, our head office in south korea and in india its a pvt. Ltd. company (Wholly owned subsidiary).

As per the customs act some of our products avail CVD on MRP for the same we need to give trader declaration, but our C&F agent is asking to give the self consumption declaration letter (the reason they are telling is we have done the registration with excise department as a dealer for passing on CVD, so we can give the self consumption instead of trader declarion with MRP list so teh CVD will be calculation on Invoice Value Only)

Please note we have done SVB registration with Customs.

Kindly help us to solve the query.

With Regards

We are exporters of fresh pomegranate fruit arils (seeds) to various countires, we use polythene covers, corrugated boxes and Master box is EPS box (Thermocol box)- we purchase the above packing material locally by paying the excise duty. We are getting DEPB benefit and also claiming the Rebate on excise duty for packing materials from Central Excise, Recently Customs at Air cargo raised objection saying that you can not claim both DEPB and Rebate for the above exports and they say it is double benefit? and they wanted us to prove this is not double benefit?, i request the expert to please advise and also mention under which rules or notification we can claim the both, so that we can forward the same to cutoms, Air cargo.

We are the exporters of Fresh Processed Fruits to various countires, my query is: we are procuring the packing materials used for exports locally by paying the excise duty, please let us know whether we can claim both the DEPB benefit from DGFT and rebate on the excise duty from Central Excise.Please clarify
Thanking You
