Iam Prashanth Bhat, Cost Accountant, wish to know whether we can claim Focus Product Scheme Benefit with advance authorisation/license for raw material imports. The end product is electrical goods which is eligible for 2% FPS Benefits.
Refer to DGFT Public Notice No. 53(RE-2010)/ 2009-14 New Delhi, the 03rd June, 2011 , para3.11.8 of HBP Vol I( 2009-14) says that: But declaration will be mentioned Shipping Bills filed under Chapter 4 (including drawback) needed a “Declaration of Intent” for claiming chapter 3 benefits. Now this “Declaration of Intent” is required only on Free Shipping Bills for claiming Chapter 3 benefits. Regards, Ramesh verma :foreign trade consultant”
