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.
