Post Export Imports Cases (where exports precede imports): ************************************************
Exports are completed before any importation has taken place against the said DFI Authorization. In these cases, the licencee / exporter procures the inputs from the indigenous sources by paying Central Excise duty. These duty paid inputs are used in the manufacture of products exported under DFIA. Since the licencee has already paid Central Excise duty, he may take CENVAT credit on the inputs. This is quite possible. The importer may get the Export Obligation Discharge Certificate (EODC) also and may get an endorsement with respect to transferability of the DFIA authorization from DGFT offices.
